Talk:Marinus van der Lubbe

message: It mentions he was beheaded following a trial. What was the crime? Was it the Reichstag fire? If so, add this, and a link. --Rebroad 09:42, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beheaded for what crime? 

message: hello, although many think it was marinus van der lubbe that started the fire was it organised by him, the communists, or the nazis themselves to gain control, there is a lot of evidence that leads to the belief the the nazis were behind these such evidence as karl ernst head of the SA in Berlin was asked if his storm troopers were behind the fire he answered ' If i said Yes, I'd be a bloody fool, If i said no I'd be a bloody liar.' evidence like this leads historians to believe the nazis tho be behind the reichstag fire.
:Nazi documents and Nuremberg Trial testimony proves what quite a few historians at the time suspected - Hermann Goering set fire to the Reichstag. Marinus, used as a patsy, was then found naked in an alley behind the Reichstag, and subsequently convicted. However, some officials deny all of this and say that it is a blatant lie.--Firehawk1717 23:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The current consensus among historians is, yes, it was in fact him. Read the article on the Reichstag fire for more information. --Martcx 02:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, ask him then. It was him, give some credit to an ordinary guy. The left wants to cling to their old believes, but why? It is not as if the Nazis had not commited enough crimes.--Radh (talk) 21:46, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  was it him? 

message: There's an odd double-mention of his joining the Dutch Communist Party (CPH). Is the second reference meant to be to the German Communist Party (KPD)? OlYeller 21:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: There are, or there is, people insisting in saying Marinus was Jewish.  It'd would be nice to see this page protected for some time.  Please, do this! 201.19.24.164 03:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It is said that Lubbe's eye-sight was damaged, but it is not clear how this occured.
More than one explanation has been given.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.28.111 (talk) 15:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No detail 

message: The source speaks of a trial taking place after van der Lubbe declared himself to be one of the ringleaders of the strike at the Tielmann factory. It equally sais that he wished to take full responsibility for the trial, yet it dose'nt say the outcome. I am intrigued as to what the outcome is? Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Godwin69 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The outcome of the trial? 

message: The article makes a great deal of factual claims and interpretations of facts that cry out for better sourcing. patsw (talk) 01:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs some help

message: "The forensic evidence from the scene, a set of photographs taken by the Berlin police department, shows many small fires started by van der Lubbe after he entered the building, apparently using fire-lighters." 
"All of the examples of fires he set, such as one near the window on the ground floor where it is alleged he entered, self-extinguished." 
I'm sure the word SUPPOSEDLY is missing from these two sentences?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.10.46.8 (talk) 12:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be something about the disastrous political result of the fire? Whoever started it, it gave the Nazis an excuse to crack down on their opponents.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.155.133 (talk) 08:21, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The image  which purportedly shows the window used by Van der Lubbe to enter the building has writing on it: Von Feuerweher zertrümmerte Scheibe which translates to "Window broken by firemen". This goes against the claim of Van der Lubbe breaking it to enter the building.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.10.110.8 (talk) 12:19, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
