I believe that the first dialogue was later reworked to become the dialogue
concluding _Gelassenheit_, translated as _Discourse on Thinking_. The GA77
dialogue looks substantially longer than the later published version.
The second dialogue is between a poet (Hoelderlin?) and a thinker (Heidegger?).
What looks especially interesting is the final dialogue, which Heidegger
sets in a war-internment camp in the Soviet Union, and is 'staged' as an
encounter between an older and a younger prisoner (both, of course,
German). I only took a cursory look at this dialogue, but it looks to
address the destiny of the Germans in the face of (then-impending) defeat.
How much of Heidegger's own biography informs this text is a matter of
speculation.
Cheers,
