Van der Lubbe admitted committing the act alone, and said he had committed the arson to rally fellow communists against fascist rule. Four other defendants in the trial were acquitted. The fire is considered by historians to be the pretext for the passing of the Nazi law, the Reichstag Fire Decree, nullifying many civil liberties of German citizens, allowing the arrest of communists nationwide and increased police surveillance.
However, a publication by Germany's RND newspaper group may cast doubt on the accepted version of events.

So, now it isn't a question of if he did it alone or not. He wasn't even there.
So, why admit to doing it alone?
