N2  - In 1938, just weeks before Reichskristallnacht, in Nazi Germany, Berlin police arrested Alfred Flatow. His crime: being a Jew in lawful possession of firearms. The police knew he possessed firearms because he dutifully registered them in 1932 under a decree by the Weimar Republic. Examining arrest records of the Nazi police, this article examines how the Nazi use of firearms control laws rendered German Jews defenseless, and how the confiscation of weapons from Jews was a final step towards the kristallnacht.
