A fire at the Eagle's Nest, Adolf Hitler's former tea house, flared up again during the night, De Telegraaf reports. The blaze at the site in Germany is being treated as arson, and Dutch outlets NU and NOS also covered the overnight development.
German prosecutors have said the suspect held in the case is psychologically ill, according to AD.nl. NOS described the detained man as confused. The reports do not give further details about the suspect or the charges.
The fire has been described as devastating. RTL.nl reported that the building will probably not be salvageable after the damage.
The Eagle's Nest is the hilltop complex associated with Hitler, and its tea house is the structure at the centre of the reports. The Dutch coverage does not specify the extent of the damage beyond the assessment that the building is likely beyond saving.
The overnight flare-up follows earlier reporting on the fire and the arrest. Authorities have not been quoted in the material beyond the prosecutors' statement on the suspect's mental state.
What to watch next: whether German officials confirm the condition of the structure and release further information on the suspect's status.
