I PURCHASED a book Hitler’s Table Talk , 1941 to 1944. It is about 1.5 inches thick. It has an introduction by H.R. Trevor-Roper and translated by Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens . Can you please tell me if you have read it and what your thoughts are.

Assuming Hitler did have these so called “Table Talks”, do you believe that it was faithfully translated? The reason I ask you is that I do not trust much of anything, especially being burnt by reading Albert Speer ‘s book. I briefly discussed this with you about four or five years ago during a luncheon you had in Washington D.C. I read a bit of the Table Talk and I am already turned off because H.R.

(Ignore the 1945 ” transcripts ” published by Trevor-Roper in the 1950s as Hitler’s Last Testament — they are fake). The table talk notes were originally taken by Heinrich Heim, the adjutant of Martin Bormann, who attended these meals at an adjacent table and took notes. (Later Henry Picker took over the job).

Afterwards Heim immediately typed up these records, which Bormann signed as accurate. François Genoud purchased the files of transcripts from Bormann’s widow just after the war, along with the handwritten letters which she and the Reichsleiter had exchanged. For forty thousand pounds — paid half to Genoud and half to Hitler’s sister Paula — George Weidenfeld , an Austrian Jewish publisher who had emigrated to London, bought the rights and issued an English translation in about 1949.

For forty years or more no German original was published, as Genoud told me that he feared losing the
