German Police Detain Suspect After Fire Engulfs Hitler's Eagle's Nest A fire broke out at Adolf Hitler's Alpine mountain retreat, the Kehlsteinhaus, also known as the Eagle's Nest, in the southern German state of Bavaria on Friday evening. The blaze was reported at 21:15 local time (19:15 GMT) and firefighters were deployed to the scene. Despite efforts to extinguish the fire, it was still burning early on Saturday, with difficult terrain hindering the response. About 200 emergency personnel were deployed to tackle the blaze, but there were no reports of injuries. Police in the area detained a suspect, described as a "suspicious person," in connection with the fire. The Eagle's Nest, which lies above the town of Berchtesgaden, was used by Hitler as a part-time seat of government and a meeting place for military commanders. The building has significant historical value, and some have called for it to be turned into a museum and memorial site. The fire has left the Eagle's Nest largely destroyed, and the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
