Summary
German police said Saturday that the Kehlsteinhaus, the Alpine retreat built for Adolf Hitler near Berchtesgaden, was probably not salvageable after a fire gutted it Friday night. A 33-year-old German man was arrested on suspicion of arson after allegedly fleeing on a motorcycle; authorities said he showed signs of mental illness and was taken to a psychiatric facility, but have not ruled out a political motive given the site's history.
