The Reichstag Fire of 1933
In my view, the Reichstag Fire is one of the more misunderstood historical events from the mid-20th Century. People often confuse it with other perfidious acts committed by the Nazis. It most likely wasn’t fake, unlike the supposed Polish attack on a German radio station that started World War II but was really a false flag operation, nor was it instigated by the Nazis like the street-fighting between SA stormtroopers, Freikorps volunteers, and communist street fighters that led to the Nazi rise to power.
