Correct the Reichstag fire was orchestrated by Hitler.
The blame if my memory serves was put on a mentally handicapped immigrant.
Hitler used it to set the stage for the night of the long knives, his final coups d’etat and more propaganda for his utterly evil ethnic cleansing and killing of the handicapped.
Your memory need a little refreshing....
