They said only Nazis call it Kristallnacht, because it sounds too poetic

In Germany this is true. Most people call it Reichsprogromnacht because Reichskristallnacht is a term coined by the Nazis and it really sounds kinda poetic.

But I wouldn't blame non native speakers for not knowing all the nuances and I don't know how old the song is and the context makes everything clear.

It's a fallacy called cherry picking, picking something specific and ignoring context. One could easily cherry pick parts of other Sabaton songs as "defense" for nazis (Ghost Division) or even the soviets (Attero Dominatus)

Now that I think about it, the history book I had during my high school called it Crystal Night, I guess because it sounds more memorable than "Pogrom Night"
