If I'm remembering correctly, the reaction to Kristalnacht was largely negative. The Germans were largely fine with being antisemetic in general, and with the abstract concept of displacing and killing the Jews, but when they had to directly observe innocent people getting brutalized and murdered they didn't support it. I think this is why the Holocaust was run the way it was, with the forced labor and killing happening outside the view of the general public. They all knew it was happening, but they didn't have to watch anyone getting forced into the gas chambers. A less extreme example of this is how Trump ran on the idea of conducting mass deportations of illegal immigrants, but when the general public saw ICE actually carrying out the mass deportations, public opinion turned against them.
