What was the reaction of the German people to this event?
It was the jew’s fault.
The document that was written shows that Kristallnacht was planned as the letter was written on November 8, 1938. Another example of showing that it was planned was because it stated that the Germans were allowed to go around damaging the jew’s business. The Germans were allowed to smash or damage anything but were not allowed to take anything. Non-jew businesses were protected from this so nothing was damaged. As soon as possible, officials were arrested many males, especially the wealthy ones.
