Which city are you talking about? There wasn't just one Stadt in any of the Reichs.

Presumably the Reichstag (parliament building) is meant?

I don't know how many other Stadt's were burnt down?  But yes, the parliament building.  Was Van der Lubbe responsible, or was it a Nazi move to gain more power?

Goddamnit!  Oh well, yeah that thing!

He wasn't just thrown in there when he was already dead?

Given the established record of the Nazis for truth and justice, I can believe he was  innocent.

He did it. And he did it alone. This is the generally accepted view since the exhaustive Fritz Tobias, Der Reichstagsbrand. Legende und Wirklichkeit. Rastatt : Grote, 1962
