My understanding of Kristallnacht is that the Nazis burned down the Reichstag and then used that to take control of Germany. I see this government making parallel moves.

No, Kristallnacht was when the Nazis went around smashing the storefronts of Jewish-owned businesses. Happened five years after the Reichstag fire, when the Nazis were already firmly in control of Germany.
