How does source I prove that Goering was telling the truth in source H?

Source I is written by a friend of Hitler’s, she reports a conversation that she had with Hitler regarding Kristallnacht. This source implies that Hitler was completely against Kristallnacht and even writes that Hitler regarded Kristallnacht as “terrible” this distances Hitler from the event corresponding with source H. However, unlike source H source I suggests that Hitler was unbeknownst to who planned Kristallnacht “The people responsible” unless Hitler was prevaricating then this vagueness implies he does not know that Goebbels planned and gave the go ahead for Kristallnacht. This disagrees with source H and a number of other sources for instance Fritz Hesse described Hitler to be completely consensual to Kristallnacht and notes that Hitler gave an indication of immense pleasure when he heard of Goebbels plans also contradicting source I as a negative view of Kristallnacht is transgressed by Frau Troost in source I.

Goering’s account was taken whilst he was on trial for war crimes, this results in a higher probability that Goering would fabricate his responses to make it look like he was innocent therefore a lot of what he says is unlikely to be truthful; most of the people involved with Kristallnacht were dead so nothing could be contradicted by any of his associates; this was extremely advantageous to Goering.

Source I disagrees with my own knowledge of Kristallnacht and the numerous more reliable sources such as A, C and E which suggest that the Nazis carried out the attacks. Frau Troost was interviewed many years after her conversation with Hitler so it seems implausible that she would remember everything about the conversation unless she had written it down. However, she was not a reporter and the source does not suggest that she had written it down. There is also the subject of Hitler being honest with Troost even if Troost did note down everything Hitler said then there is still a likelihood that Hitler would lie to her. Hitler could have said anything to Frau Troost as she was one of Hitler’s close associates and a loyal Nazi. According to source I Hitler was worried about his foreign policy in regards to Kristallnacht but it is all blatant lies as he says he wanted to come to an understanding with France and then shortly after he went on to invade France on May 10th 1940. It seems likely that he would also lie about whether or not he knew who was responsible for Kristallnacht and indeed if he was annoyed about it.

I have come to the conclusion that source I doesn’t prove that Goering’s account is truthful as there are some discrepancies between the sources for instance Hitler knew who was responsible for Kristallnacht in source H where as in source I Hitler seems unbeknownst to this fact. Also source H seems more reliable as it corresponds with my own knowledge of Kristallnacht although obviously there will be some equivocation as he was on trial at the time. Although source I does not prove that Source H is truthful I think that it does go so far as making it more plausible that Hitler had a negative reaction towards Kristallnacht.
