Picker's version of the
Table Talk was published in 1951 under the title
Hitlers 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 Talk was arranged thematically, unlike the French and English editions which were arranged
chronologically. 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. Picker was involved in several legal battles with
François Genoud and
Hugh Trevor-Roper concerning the copyrights to the work. In 1963 Picker published a book about
Pope John XXIII, in the preparation of which he was assisted by Vatican librarian Count Giuseppe Newlin (Mieczysław Dunin-Borkowski).
