They caught a guy, Lubbe. As far as i know it is not clear why he set the fire as the Nazis never had any evidence. There are 3 theories:

  • the Nazis ordered him to do it.
  • he was doing it as a communist
  • he just did it as vandalism/arsonism

But we do know that they absolutely used it to crack down against the communists--
