According to their own records, they killed around one million four hundred thousand people, almost exclusively civilians, without judicial supervision or any legality support (no reading of accusations of criminal or administrative law was made). The murders began with the annihilation of the Polish intelligentsia after the invasion of this country, and later of the ethnic groups despised as subhuman for the Nazi regime, including women and children, of the populations that remained behind the front line.

The event which is being described is Kristallnacht. It was a pogrom of Nazi party against German Jews.  

Explanation:

Kristallnacht can be roughly translated to the night of broken glass refers to a pogrom carried against Jews by paramilitaries and civilians loyal to Hitler’s Nazi party. The streets were filled with broken glass sherds from Jews synagogues, buildings and stores. Hence the name.

Along with the destruction of the Jewish properties around 20 thousand Jewish men ended by being in the concentration camp. The above-mentioned act was reprisal to the killing of a Nazi diplomat by a Jew (Polish) in Paris. This brutal event was a prelude to the final solution and consequential murder of around 6 million Jews people during the infamous holocaust.

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
