there is a "funny" episode of this story but somehow it's missing on wiki. It goes like this: Grynszpan wanted to kill the ambassador who was Johannes von Welczeck. Bu he didn't know where is the german embassy. With his gun he walked looking for it and asked a guy who was also going somewhere. Excuse me sir, where is the german embassy he asked? Oh, you are near it, just go ... and you are there. So Grynszpan went there and met von Rath- Are you german ambassador? Rath answered that he CAN HELP him with his problems and Grynszpan pulled out his gun and killed von Rath. The guy who he met on a street of Paris and asked for direction was Johannes von Welczeck.
