What was the purpose of the Kristallnacht?
The Nazis used the murder of a low-level German diplomat in Paris by a 17-year-old Polish Jew as an excuse to carry out the Kristallnacht attacks. ... However, it was clear from instructions given by Gestapo chief Richard Heydrich that the main purpose of the carefully orchestrated “riots” were to disarm the Jews.
The violence was instigated primarily by Nazi Party officials and members of SA (sturmabteilungen: literally Assault Detachments, but commonly known as Storm Troopers) and Hitler Youth.
