The 20th of July was the coup against Hitler ("Valkyrie", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Valkyrie).

And the Reichstag fire was not a false flag operation, it was just exploited afterwards as an excuse to finish up German democracy. The perpetrator had a criminal record for arson. Maybe you should read articles that you link to?

From the Reichsbrand Wikipedia link:

The responsibility for the Reichstag fire remains an ongoing topic of debate and research.[3][4] Historians disagree as to whether van der Lubbe acted alone, as he said, to protest the condition of the German working class. The Nazis accused the Comintern of the act. Some historians endorse the theory, proposed by the Communist Party, that the arson was planned and ordered by the Nazis as a false flag operation.[5]


If you actually read the two sources for that statement, it's clear that the disagreement is about the party affiliation. Except for communists claiming it to be a false flag operation, there is nothing in support of that theory and nobody supporting it.
