Many scholars think Hitler didn't do it and it was indeed communists. I don't really think they needed to do it when Hitler was already in power.

90% believed in the Nazi workers party because they believed that they would prevent usury, speculation and revamp the economy which was in utter ruin. They partly were successful.
