Like 9/11? Judge for yourself. ("Der Schuldige," Der Stürmer, #10/1933)

[norml]

Background: The following lead article from Der Stürmer, Julius Streicher's anti-Semitic weekly, appeared in March 1933, just after the Reichstag fire. The claim is that the fire was part of a world-wide Jewish conspiracy based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Protocols, a demonstrated forgery, were regularly used by Streicher to support his charge of a sinister world-wide Jewish conspiracy. For more information on the Stürmer and its editor, see my book on Julius Streicher.

A few days ago, Germany was astonished by the news of arson in the Reichstag. Fires were set in more than twenty places in the building. It was almost completely destroyed. The ringleader is the head of the Communist faction in the Reichstag, Representative Torgler.

At the time time the press brought another unsettling report. In the basement of the "Karl Liebknecht Building" :

secret passages

and hidden tunnels were discovered. Material that encouraged civil war was found. Detailed plans to murder both individuals and groups of Germans citizens were found. The bloody uprising was supposed to begin throughout Germany in the immediate future. There was to be murder and arson in cities and villages.

These news items had a strong effect throughout Germany. The indifferent citizen who had not wanted to see the enormous danger of Bolshevism looked in horror toward Berlin. He too realized now that Germany faced a terrible threat. The burning Reichstag building was the signal that brought every German to his senses.
