Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

The finding was independent of the factual question of whether or not it was Van der Lubbe who actually set the fire.[1][2][3]

You were saying?

Go beyond Wikipedia and investigate a bit further. Then get back to me.

Hey, it was your claim, not mine. Where's the beef?

Not on Wikipedia, that's for sure.

The new historical fact is that van der Lubbe was falsely accused and convicted in an unfair trial by the Nazis.

The pardon granted by federal prosecutor, Monika Harms, happened after a lawyer in Berlin alerted her to the fact that he [van der Lubbe] had yet to be exonerated under a law passed in 1998. The law allowed pardons for people convicted of crimes under the Nazis, based on the concept that Nazi law "went against the basic ideas of justice".

In other words, that you might understand, the pardon nullified the original Nazi conviction because the trial in 1933 was unlawful. In doing so, the "historical fact" of van der Lubbe's alleged guilt was also repealed.

It's a historical fact.

For many years it was a "historical fact" that Marinus van der Lubbe burned down the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1933. Van der Lubbe was convicted for it and executed in 1934. It took until 2007 to prove the "historical fact" wrong.

For centuries the Donation of Constantine was considered a "historical fact" until it was proven to be a forgery

So much for "historical facts"

For many years it was a "historical fact" that Marinus van der Lubbe burned down the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1933. Van der Lubbe was convicted for it and executed in 1934. It took until 2007 to prove the "historical fact" wrong.

Wasn't it Hitlers propaganda minster who operated under the theory of the Big Lie......  Hitler and his henchmen were in control....and only a damned fool would challenge them..... By 2007 none of Hitler's goons had any power..... And the truth surfaced.

Likewise.... J Edgar Hoover's goons can't intimidate anybody now......
