German police detain suspect after fire engulfs Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest

A fire engulfed the Kehlsteinhaus, known as the Eagle’s Nest, Adolf Hitler’s former mountain retreat in Bavaria. A smoke detector triggered the alarm at about 9:50pm on Friday, and around 200 firefighters responded; no injuries were reported. Police detained a suspect, identified by Bild as a motorcyclist travelling towards the scene, and are investigating whether he was connected to the blaze; its cause has not been announced. German media reported that investigators suspect arson, while the site’s remote location more than 1,800 metres above sea level complicated firefighting efforts.
