  "account": "A fire erupted at Adolf Hitler's Eagle's Nest, also known as the Kehlsteinhaus, on Friday evening, Bavarian police confirmed. Flames engulfed the retreat, which sits at 1,834 meters above sea level on the Obersalzberg in Berchtesgaden. A fire alarm sounded at around 9:15 p.m. local time, prompting immediate response from fire brigades. As they approached, firefighters could already see visible flames. Reaching the site presented a challenge due to its elevated location, requiring responders to wear respiratory protective equipment to enter the area. As of now, there are no reported injuries. The Kehlsteinhaus, once Hitler's fortified residence where he may have partially penned his book \"Mein Kampf,\" now serves as a popular restaurant. This site, one of the few surviving Nazi monuments from World War II, remains a poignant symbol of the regime's history.",
  "summary": "Authorities have arrested a suspect as firemen try to put out the fire in Bavaria, near the Austrian border.",
