Jahrestag

February 27th 1933 - Reichstag Fire

 

February 27th 1933: In Berlin, Germany the Reichstag burns. Arrested as a suspected arsonist, is Dutch communist Marinus van der Lubbe. The National Socialists however suspected the KPD of an attempt to overthrow the government, and took the fire as an opportunity to organize a witch hunt. Many political opponents were kidnapped and taken into so-called protective custody. Fundamental rights of the Constitution are suspended by the means of the so-called "Reichstag Fire Decree”. Despite a large staged show trial by the Nazi leadership, the person responsible for the Reichstag fire has not been determined to this day. It is not at all unlikely that the fire was set by the Nazis themselves.
