@Etaoinshrdlu69 It was, I believe, supposed to be the final insult to the German people. There had been several reports of attacks on German citizens and Polish citizens of German ancestry before this. Some likely did happen, but most were blown out of proportion if they happened at all. Hitler and his allies within the government needed the people to ask them to "do something" to protect fellow Germans.
