We can tell from the document that it was planned because it states that “non-jewish businesses are to be protected from damage under all circumstances”. Some more things that were said are “As soon as possible, officials are to arrest as many jews especially wealthy ones”. We know this was planned because the date this was sent was 1 day before the event happened, 1:20 am November 8th 1938.
