The night of the Kristallnacht was planned before it actually happened, some proof of this is that it was sent on the 8th of November 1938, at 1.20 in the morning. In the document it said what the Jewish could do and couldn't do, some examples of this are “businesses and residences of jews may be damaged but not looted” and “officials are to arrest as many Jews as possible, especially the wealthy ones.”
