BERLIN – German police said on Oct 24 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.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Police spokeswoman Lisa Maier said firefighters were struggling to extinguish the blaze due to its remote location, at an altitude of 1,834 metres.
Built between 1937 and 1938, the Eagle's Nest forms part of the toxic legacy of Hitler's Third Reich, which was responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews along with Roma, LGBTQ people and Communists in the Holocaust.
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.
