BERLIN, Oct 24 (Reuters) – German police said they had detained a suspect after fire broke out at a historic mountain guest house known as the “Eagle’s Nest” that was a favourite retreat of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Around 200 fire fighters and emergency personnel in the area around Berchtesgaden in the southern region of Bavaria were battling the flames after the building, known as the Kehlsteinhaus, caught fire on Friday, police said.
