Müller, Georg Wilhelm (1909—89), medlem i NSDAP som 18-åring, steg i gradene i partiapparatet og ble Goebbels’ adjutant fra 1937 samt SS-Oberführer. I Norge ledet han hovedavdelingen for folkeopplysning og propaganda i Reichskommissariat fra april 1940—mars -45.
Müller ble med på det tyske felttoget mot Russland og vendte såret tilbake til Norge i desember 1941. Han involverte seg i brødrene Dysthes bestrebelser for å styrte Quisling høsten 1944, noe som gjorde det vanskelig å bli værende i Norge. Goebbels sendte ham i mars 1945 til vestfronten på spesialoppdrag. I mai ble han arrestert og utlevert til Norge, men etter 30 måneders internering fikk han vende tilbake til Tyskland uten dom.
Müller var sentralfiguren bak den tyske propaganda i Norge. Falkenhorst betegnet ham etter krigen som den minst tiltalende person i hele Reichskommissariat. Müller var ikke desto mindre en taktisk begavelse. Både under riksrådsforhandlingene og senere betrodde Terboven de vanskeligste og mest ubehagelige oppdragene nettopp til ham. Müller maktet samtidig det kunststykke å nyte full tillit hos Terboven og Goebbels på samme tid.
Müller, Georg Wilhelm (1909-1989), member of the NSDAP at age 18, rose through the ranks of the party apparatus and was Goebbels' adjutant from 1937 and SS-Oberführer. In Norway, he led the main department of public enlightenment and propaganda in Reichskommissariat from April 1940-March -45.
Muller joined the German campaign against Russia and returned wounded back to Norway in December 1941. He involved himself in the brothers Dysthe efforts to overthrow Quisling fall of 1944, which made it difficult to remain in Norway. Goebbels sent him in March 1945 to the west front of the special mission. In May he was arrested and extradited to Norway, but after 30 months of detention he was returning to Germany without judgment.
Müller was a key figure behind the German propaganda in Norway. Falkenhorst called him after the war as the least attractive person in the Reichskommissariat. Muller was not the less a tactical genius. Both the National Council proceedings and later confided Terboven most difficult and unpleasant assignments just to him. Müller also managed the feat to enjoy the full confidence of Terboven and Goebbels at the same time.
Sota ei päätä kuka on oikeassa, vain sen että kuka on jäljellä.
War does not decide who is right but only those who are left.
