    That’s still being debated. Your thesis is also the one presented by the Nazis and is not as clear as you make it out to be.

      no, what the nazis said is that it was the communist party, not a lone communist:

      Despite the fact that Marinus van der Lubbe claimed to have acted alone in the Reichstag fire, Hitler, after having obtained his emergency powers, announced that it was the start of a wider communist effort to take over Germany. Nazi Party newspapers then published this fabricated story.[19]
