This pivotal event in the rise of the Nazis to power isn't well known enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire

Good thing nothing like that could happen today really.

Goring: "the opera seemed to me much more important than the Reichstag"

Huh. Now, is that rabbit-hole sarcasm?

Interesting to see where arsonists consider the seat of government to reside these days, isn't it?

I have to respectfully disagree. Although the Reichstag Fire was an important and crucial aspect of the Nazis rise to power, the appointment of Hitler to the post of Chancellor on 30 January 1933 was the pivotal event. Otherwise, Hitler wouldn't have had the ability to declare a state of emergency or encourage the Reichstag Fire Decree which ultimately led to the Enabling Act and further.

Sort of like the US Presidential election of 2000.

I'd like to start a German restaurant called Ye Olde Reichstag Fire, and make it in the shape of the WTC. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/warpsmith/139343.html)
