Party Member Lawyer Heinrich Heim, Munich, joins the staff of the Deputy of the Führer as of today.

Chief of Staff to the Deputy of the Führer.

[Signed] M. Bormann

This is Heim’s hiring letter/work permit (“Ausweis”) signed by Martin Bormann, which essentially brought him into the service of der Führer in August 1933.

Heinrich Heim was born in Munich, Bavaria to a distinguished family of lawyers. His father was a judge at the Bavarian Supreme Court, and a member of the Bavarian Court. 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 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.
