Career
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. Heinrich Heim was born in Munich, Bavaria from a distinguished family of lawyers.
Raised in Zweibrücken, Germany, Heim studied law at the University of Munich.
After graduation Heim was hired by a law firm, where he worked with lawyer Hans Frank, who would later become a high-ranking official in Nazi Germany. Heim primarily represented the interests of a relief fund headed by Martin Bormann.
From 1939 to 1943 Heim worked as an aid to Bormann, which later lead to his notable work recording Hitler"s informal conversations.
