Trivia[]
- Krystalnacht, properly spelled Kristallnacht, is translated to "Night of the Broken Glass", a sanctioned Nazi massacre of Jews in November 1938, in which Nazis looted and destroyed synagogues, Jewish homes, and Jewish businesses. This event kicked off the Holocaust, as many Jews were taken to concentration camps that night.
- The reference to Krystalnacht foreshadows the great devastation and unparalleled number of casualties event at the end of Watchmen; the fake "alien" attack, resulting in the deaths of three million people and destruction of New York City. Adolf Hitler believed that killing all the Jews would unite Germany, just as Adrian Veidt believed that the New York City catastrophe would unite the world to peace.
