The Story
German police said Saturday they had detained a suspect following a fire at Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat, known as the Eagle’s Nest, in the state of Bavaria.
Around 200 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze at the Nazi dictator’s remote Kehlsteinhaus residence, on the peak of Obersalzberg in southern Germany. Firefighters saw flames rising high into the air as they approached the scene, only to find the building “completely ablaze”, police said.“A suspicious person was taken into temporary custody,” they said in a later statement, adding that nobody was injured in the blaze.
