Fire engulfs Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Bavaria
A major fire engulfed Adolf Hitler's former Eagle's Nest mountain retreat in southern Germany, the Guardian and BBC World reported. Around 200 emergency personnel were deployed to the remote Bavarian site, where local conditions complicated firefighting. German police detained a suspect, but the RSS reports did not state the suspected cause.
