Kristallnacht is the best example of the 'smoke and mirrors' theory on the Nazi dicatatorship. That the whole government was based on a falsehood, on the people's belief of what they were, rather than what they actually were.
Kristallnacht was portrayed as the people taking revenge against the Jews, who had harmed them so much, where as in reality it was only (mainly) people who were told to by the party that undertook the actions.
This demonstrates that the power of the Nazis was always in question, they were always worried that the people would not support them and in fact they were not a Dictatorship at all.
