Reichstag 1989

Reichstag 1989

The Reichstag was built in 1894 as the Parliament building for a united Germany. The Nazis set fire to the building in February 1933 and blamed the fire on the communists. This gave the Nazis the opportunity to declare that the communists were about to overthrow the government and start a nationwide crackdown.
