I finished reading this excellent study that came out in 2020. It is a highly rigorous and in-depth (sometimes to the point of exhaustion) source-critical analysis of what is known as 'Hitler's table talk.' Bottom line: it is a practical forgery.
To begin, there at least 3 different editions: the Tischgespraeche of 1951, edited from Henry Picker's notes; the "Bormann-Vermerke" obtained by Francois Genoud which was translated to French and then back into English; and the Monologe, which is the BV w/o Picker's notes.
What in English is called "Hitler's Table Talk" is really a translation of a translation of a palimpsest of notes that were jotted down (many late at night) from memory w/o any stenographic copies, and subsequently revised. And the text varies b/w editions of the same publisher.
No one knows for sure how Francois Genoud got the Bormann-Vermerke. He claims to have bought it from Italian govt officials around 1952, but circumstantial evidence reveals he likely obtained it in 1947, and moreover that what he had was always a photocopy.
Richard Carrier (fedora tipper that he may be) already showed how many of the vociferously anti-Christian statements in the Table Talk originate from the French translation, and are not in the Monologe. Either Genoud, Bormann or Mueller added these in at some point.
The Table Talk contains such egregious errors as getting the year that the NSDAP was founded wrong! Sentences differ widely between Heim's proof pages, Picker's notes, and Genoud's translation.
The contention that the Table Talk reveals the uninhibited personal side to Hitler is false; numerous small biographic details line up precisely with Mein Kampf in places where independent sources contradict them. Either Hitler wasn't open, or the notes were modeled after MK.
Albert Speer's mention of the Table Talk in the Spandauer Tagebücher appears to have been ghostwritten by Joachim C. Fest; moreover Speer's own notes on talks with Hitler in 1942 often fail to have any overlap at all with those that would become the Table Talk manuscripts.
Here's a scan from Heinrich Heim's proof pages that would go on to be included into the Monologe's final print; entire paragraphs glossed in by hand post facto; de facto a forgery.
In short, the Table Talk's many variants are worthless as primary sources, and any historical or biographic argument that depends on citing them (and there are many!) should be revised. Especially anything that cites TT re: Hitler's religious views is a hoax.
