Henry Picker was the first to publish the table talk, doing so in 1951 in the original German.[1] This was followed by the French translation in 1952 by François Genoud, a Swiss financier and a principal benefactor of the Nazi diaspora.[2] The English edition came in 1953, which was translated by R. H. Stevens and Norman Cameron and published with an introduction by historian Hugh Trevor-Roper.[3][10] Both the French and English translations were purportedly[5] based on the Bormann-Vermerke manuscript while Picker's volume was based on his original notes as well as the notes he directly acquired from Heinrich Heim spanning from 5 July 1941 to March 1942.[12] The original German content of the Bormann-Vermerke was not published until 1980 by historian Werner Jochmann.[13] However Jochmann's edition is not complete as it lacks the 100 entries made by Picker between 12 March and 1 September 1942.[14] Both Heim's and Picker's original manuscripts seem to have been lost and their whereabouts are unknown.[11]
