The former governor of California and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger compared the January 6 United States Capital protest incident which was apparently partly infiltrated by leftist activists to the Nazi "Night of Broken Glass" incident, but he is wrong and should compare it to the Reichstag Fire incident where the German people lost their civil liberties. Here is a summary of the actor's video:
On January 11, The Associated Press (AP) headline was "Arnold Schwarzenegger compare[d] US Capitol mob to Nazis."
On the same day, Twitter, in "What's happening" or trending under "Arnold" it said "Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California and actor, compares the insurrection at the Capitol building in Washington DC to the rise of Nazi Germany in a personal video message." In the video AP reported that Schwarzenegger compared the January 6 United States Capital protest incident which was apparently partly infiltrated by leftist activists to the Nazi " Night of Broken Glass" incident :
The Republican said in a video he released on social media on Sunday that “Wednesday was the Night of Broken Glass right here in the United States.” In 1938, Nazis in Germany and Austria vandalized Jewish homes, schools and businesses during an attack that became known as Kristallnacht or “the Night of Broken Glass.”
“The broken glass was in the windows of the United States Capitol. But the mob did not just shatter the windows of the Capitol, they shattered the ideas we took for granted,” he said. “They trampled the very principles on which our country was founded.” [https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-media-arnold-schwarzenegger-capitol-siege-7f4b710a5b4dd8e49f26980364c539a0?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP&utm_campaign=SocialFlow and https://twitter.com/home and https://twitter.com/search?q=Arnold&src=trend_click&vertical=trends]]
Schwarzenegger is wrong and should have compare it to the Reichstag Fire incident where the German people lost their civil liberties. The On This Day website gives a summary of the Reichstag Fire:
Four weeks after Adolf Hitler
was sworn in as the new Chancellor of Germany, the seat of the German
Parliament in Berlin, the Reichstag, was burned down. This is one of the
most contested and controversial events of Hitler's early years in
power, as a mere one day later, Hitler signed the Reichstag Fire Decree
which gave his government the legal authority to imprison opponents of
the Nazis and suspend many civil liberties in Germany.
The Nazis arrested Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch Communist, with
setting the fire. He was tried, and executed on January 10, 1934, for
the arson act. There has been much debate on whether Lubbe acted alone
or whether the Nazis set the fire as a false-flag attack in order to
pass the Reichstag Decree and increase their power.
Foremost Nazi historian Ian Kershaw
wrote in 1998 that the consensus was that Lubbe had acted alone and
that the fire was merely a stroke of luck that the event occurred so the
Nazis could use it to their advantage. However, new evidence since then
has pointed to the possibility of a Nazi conspiracy. In June 2019 an
affidavit in the archives of former investigator Fritz Tobias was
discovered. In it Hans-Martin Lennings, an SA operative, claimed in 1955
that he and his SA group drove Lubbe to the scene of the fire - and
that the Reichstag was already on fire when they arrived.
Lennings claimed that his team were made to sign a paper denying
knowledge of the event, and that they had protested Lubbe's arrest. He
later claimed that many involved had been executed but that he had been
warned and fled to Czechoslovakia.
Whatever the case, in 2008 a German court posthumously pardoned Lubbe
under a law designed to reverse unjust convictions during Nazi
persecutions. [https://www.onthisday.com/photos/reichstag-fire]
Many people believe this because they have already been sold a a bill of good about the Nazis being "right wingers." It's not true, but the left wing spent a lot of time for this narrative to be built up. Dinesh D'Souza, in his book The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left explains in great detail how and why this was done.

This strategy is now paying off, if people like Schwarzenegger can get away with making comments that are just monstrously ignorant.
