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

German police have detained a suspect after a fire engulfed the Eagle’s Nest, Adolf Hitler’s notorious Nazi-era mountain retreat in Bavaria, prompting an overnight emergency operation involving about 200 firefighters. No injuries were reported at the building, known locally as the Kehlsteinhaus. Police said investigators were examining whether a “suspicious person” taken into temporary custody was connected to the blaze.

Emergency crews could see flames rising above the building as they approached and found it “completely ablaze”, according to police.
