The Nazis deliberately set the 1933 Reichstag fire rather than Marinus van der Lubbe acting alone.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Nazis deliberately set the 1933 Reichstag fire rather than Marinus van der Lubbe acting alone?

Unclear. Several reference and peer-reviewed items report a historian consensus that Marinus van der Lubbe set the Reichstag fire acting alone with no Nazi involvement, which runs against the claim of a deliberate Nazi plot. However, these items describe the state of the debate rather than definitively settling the claim, and one item notes the single-culprit narrative's origins are themselves contested.
