Heinrich Heim

Who is Heinrich Heim?

Heinrich Heim was a lawyer and NSDAP Ministerialrat who transcribed and co-published with Werner Jochmann transcripts of Adolf Hitler's informal talks, known colloquially as Hitler's Table Talk. Heim's version of the table talk was published in 1980 under the title Adolf Hitler Monologe im Führerhauptquartier 1941-1944. Heim's edition relied upon the original German notes, recorded by Heim from 5 July 1941 to mid March 1942, and August–September 1942. According to German historian Clemens Vollnhals, from a "source-critical point of view, the most reliable version of the Table Talk remains Werner Jochmann's edition of 1980."
