Original: Suspect arrested over fire at Hitler’s ‘Eagle’s Nest’ retreat in Bavaria
German police have arrested a suspect in connection with a fire at the Kehlsteinhaus, the mountain retreat known as the Eagle's Nest that Adolf Hitler used in the Bavarian Alps. About 200 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze in the remote area of southern Germany. The historic site, now a tourist destination, was reportedly damaged in the fire, and the motive behind it remains under investigation.
Why now: The deliberate burning of a notorious Nazi-era landmark is a striking and unusual news event drawing attention.
