Authorities say the retreat known as the Eagle’s Nest built for Adolf Hitler in the Bavarian Alps has burned down almost completely in a fire, and work to extinguish the blaze was still in progress Saturday. A suspect was detained. Police said a fire alarm at the building in the Berchtesgaden district in Germany’s southeastern corner went off at about 9:15 p.m. on Friday. Firefighters who went to the scene could see the flames as they approached the site, on a cliff 1,834 meters (6,017 feet) above sea level. Getting fire engines to the site proved difficult because of its location.
