If I remember correctly, the Baths (geothermal hot-water) that the "Bad" refers to have been a tourist attraction there for many centuries.

Thanks for the info sir. I was definitely looking at the name in completely the wrong context. I just automatically assumed it was a US given name or rename I should say. I would think that anything Nazi/SS was automatically destroyed including names like the statues were, but again I was mistaken. I learned something new. The sad part is all the current and former 10th group guys I know have mentioned Tolz and I never asked about the name. I'll keep reading, thanks again sir.
