Reichstag fire, burning of the Reichstag (parliament) building in Berlin, on the night of Feb. 27, 1933, a key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship and widely believed to have been contrived by the newly formed Nazi government itself to turn public opinion against its opponents and to assume emergency powers. Hitler had secured the chancellorship after the elections of November 1932, but his Nazi Party had not won an overall majority. He therefore obtained Cabinet consent to fix new elections for March 5, 1933. Meanwhile, his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, is supposed to have devised the scheme whereby 10 agents led by Karl Ernst were to gain access to the Reichstag through a tunnel leading from the official residence of Hermann Goring, Reichstag president and Hitler's chief minister, who was then to conduct an official investigation, which would fix responsibility for the fire on the Communists. The supposed arsonist was a Dutchman, Marinus van der Lubbe, whom some have claimed was brought to the scene of the crime by Nazi agents. Others have contended that there was no proof of Nazi complicity in the crime, but that Hitler merely capitalized on van der Lubbe's independent act. The fire is the subject of continued debate and research.
On Feb. 28, 1933, the day after the fire, Hitler's dictatorship began with the enactment of a decree "for the Protection of the People and the State," which dispensed with all constitutional protection of political, personal, and property rights. Though the ensuing elections still did not give the Nazis an outright majority, they were able to persuade the Reichstag to pass an Enabling Act (March 23) whereby all its legislative powers were transferred to the Reich Cabinet by a vote of 444 to 94, so sanctioning the dictatorship. A feature of the ensuing arson trial, at which van der Lubbe was convicted, was the acquittal of the Bulgarian Communist Georgi Dimitrov after a strong defense

  • Hitler wasn't elected. Hindenburg was elected.  With his death, Hitler assumed power by the terms of the German Constitution.

  • @katey1dog

    On August 2, 1934, Hindenburg died, and the title of president was abolished. Hitlers title became Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor.

  • @katey1dog That is incorrect. Just as Obama and Congress has violated our constitution with the Patriot Act, NDAA, etc., Hitler violated the German constitution with the Reichstag Fire Decree.

  • @TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE Absolutely. But do you notice how all official history, media, art, etc is decribing them as " top-professionals" of all evil so that many other ideologies and regimes, that are no amateurs, to stay conveniently covered as "moderate, acceptable, not that bad ,etc".

    The oldest trick in propaganda: describe the other as "evil number one" - that will make you look better in any case, whatever you are....

  • @911truthncDotOrg he became chancellor in 33

  • I know that.

  • The Nazis were amateurs.

  • great video
