Wasn't the Reichstag fire a false flag?
Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the ~~Jews~~ Communists, 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.
