Hitlers Tischgespreche - Table Talks
After the war, Picker co-transcribed and first published transcripts of Adolf Hitler's informal talks, known colloquially as the Table Talks.
Picker's version of the Table Talks was published in 1951 under the title Tischgespräche im Führerhauptquartier, and relied upon the original German notes he acquired from Heinrich Heim taken from July 1941 to March 1942, and Picker's own notes taken from March 21, 1942 through August 2, 1942.
The first edition of Picker's Table Talks was arranged thematically, unlike the French and English editions which were arrangedchronologically. A later edition of Picker's work was published in 1963, which was more extensive, carefully annotated, chronologically organized, and published with an introduction by German historian Percy Ernst Schramm. Both the second (1963) and third (1976) editions contain several testimonials by fellow bunker officers relating to the books's accuracy and authenticity, including General Gerhard Engel. Picker was involved in several legal battles with François Genoud and Hugh Trevor-Roper concerning the copyrights to the work.
