I am curious if there has been a backlash for this against the government by Germans and if so how big.

The Kohl government was voted out of office in 1998 but certainly not because of exports to Iraq. I don't remember any public outrage about the technical support of Saddam Hussein. It should be added that during the period covered by the Möllemann report the USA also supported Saddam as an enemy of the enemy Iran.
