    The Reichstag fire is - of course - the better known event, but really Kirk’s death is far more likely to be exploited in the same way as the death of nazi thug Horst Wessel. He was turned into a martyr for the nazi cause and idolized by nazi party until the end of the Third Reich, though Wessel never was anything more than another violent thug in a party full of violent thugs.
