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.
