Wasn't the Reichstag fire a false flag?
Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the Jews, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.
They blamed the communists for the fire.
You're right, my bad !
They caught a guy, Lubbe. As far as i know it is not clear why he set the fire as the Nazis never had any evidence. There are 3 theories:
But we do know that they absolutely used it to crack down against the communists--
Short answer: Yes
But we live in a time where history is rewritten daily. Hitler was a socialist - bullshit for example.
People were also conflating Hitler as a socialist then.
The whole point of that was to discredit actual socialism. It wasn't socialism to them, but a dog whistle for nationalism.
It would have been more accurate to call that the National nationalist party.
