Remember in the 1930's - 1940's when a bunch of conspiracy theorists were saying the Reichstag Fire was a false flag and Hitler was using it to take total authoritarian power? Sadly, even then 90% of the people were sheep and believed whatever government told them

During the Nuremberg trials, a General named Franz Halder testified that in the 1930s, Herman Goering admitted to orchestrating the destruction of the Reichstag.

The same Nuremberg Trials where it was proven that four million Jews were gassed to death at Auschwitz?

Theres no reason to believe that Halder was lying. Anyway, its not like the Nazis were above committing false flag attacks. They attacked their own radio station at Gleiwitz on the first day of WW2.

Have you not been watching what the media has been doing here for the last 4 years? Why would you expect them to be honest back then? Are you aware that one of only 2 NKVD agents to escape to the west, Victor Suvurov, says that it was the Poles who attacked that station, and they were not germans dressed up to be poles like the "news" said back then.
