That night, Hitler was certain that the fire
had been started by the Communists. ‘I hope it’s the work of the
Communists,’ he told me. ‘If it is, I will destroy them
completely.’ What I saw – how Hitler behaved when he saw the fire
– does NOT fit in with the theory that the Nazis had started the fire.
Delmer was a journalist with the Daily
Express. He was with Hitler on the night of the fire. He wrote this
in a letter to a German newspaper in 1959.

Express?
