Neonazis love Sabaton, despite Sabaton doing multiple press releases that say "fuck you Nazi scum aren't welcome". Same with Rammstein, people hear things about Germany and assume you're on the side of the genocidal fascists.

A fool once told me that Sabaton is a Nazi band because of their song "The Final Solution"

Ever since it started
On Kristallnacht '38
When liberty died
And truth was denied

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.

The song is also a poem. It's not a high energy exciting song like Sabaton's usual fare, it's just a poem with drums and guitar. You can hear every single word clearly. Is it considered appropriate to use such poetic language in poems?

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"

There are plenty of white supremacist fans of Insane Clown Posse, despite the fact that ICP has released multiple songs about violently mutilating and killing white supremacists

That’s called appropriating it to your side. Yankee Doodle was an insult to the Americans.
