  "account": "Police in south Germany have arrested a suspect following a fire at Adolf Hitler's retreat, the Eagle's Nest, located on a Bavarian mountain. The fire was reported by dispatchers in Traunstein at 21:15 local time on Friday, with the building already engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived. The challenging terrain made extinguishing the blaze difficult, and by early Saturday, it continued to burn with about 200 emergency personnel on the scene. No injuries were reported. The retreat, perched above the town of Berchtesgaden, served as Hitler's part-time government office and was used for planning the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union. An investigation is underway to assess if the suspect is linked to the fire. Hitler also utilized the site for propaganda films depicting him as an animal and nature lover. Completed in 1938, the Eagle's Nest was spared destruction following Germany's defeat in 1945 and has since become a popular tourist spot, functioning as both a mountain inn and a reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. During World War Two, Hitler and his forces were responsible for the deaths of millions, including the systematic extermination of European Jews.",
  "summary": "Around 200 emergency personnel are deployed to fight the blaze at the Nazi dictator's Alpine residence in Germany.",
