The Nazis used the burning of the Reichstag on 27 February 1933 in a virtuoso way to establish their dictatorship. But did they also set fire to it themselves? This has been the subject of bitter dispute for 75 years. Those who see the Dutchman Marinus van der Lubbe as the sole perpetrator are reviled by those who believe in a Nazi conspiracy as "adherents of the Gestapo theory". Drawing on archival material accessible after reunification, Kellerhoff provides an unbiased account of historical events and the background to later debates.
