Now, now, let's not get nasty boys and girls.
As to the topic, I agree to the principle of not changing things just because some newcomer doesn't understand the local history, and/or to conform to PC sensibilities. But, in this case, a walk has been re-named from its original name to the name of one of the worst European dictators and mass murderers ever known - and this was done before it was known how bad he was. To revert to the original name, in this case, is no bad thing. If people want to maintain the Hitler name as a local nick name, then fine, but official sign posts are a different matter. That's all I'm saying.
