Fire breaks out at Hitler’s mountain retreat, suspect detained
Firefighters struggled to extinguish the large blaze due to the site's remote location at an altitude of 1,834m.
A fire erupted at Adolf Hitler's mountain retreat, the Eagle's Nest, located in the Bavarian Alps. German authorities announced the detention of a suspect in connection with the incident. The site, once the heavily fortified residence of the Nazi leader, was found ablaze by firefighters who responded to the scene at 9:52 pm on Friday evening.
