The mysterious disappearance of the head of the Gestapo, Henrich Mueller, after World War II is a mystery to many. Was he really dead or did he hide? Although many stories appeared ‘confirming’ his burial in Berlin during 1945, any convincing information about Mueller’s disappearance is sure to raise the curiosity level of politicians and mystery seekers.

To understand more clearly what Mueller is, we need to delve into the composition of his personality that was formed in the early part of his career. Unfortunately, we don’t have much information on his superiors or top Nazis, as they were either dead or committed suicide. For example, Reinhard Heydrich assassinated in 1942, Henrich Himmler and Hermann Goering committed suicide during an international tribunal in 1945. Another notorious man, Martin Bormann, was also disappeared or murdered without a trace. This means that those who could provide vital information about the Mueller Gestapo were not available.

Mueller, the SS Gruppenführer was advised by Reich strongman Reynard Heydrich, who planned the liquidation of millions of political and racial opponents who opposed the Nazis. From the above records we can understand one thing about him, Mueller was a professional through and through. He was against communism and Nazism and harshly attacked both. History says that he was loyal to the Weimer Republic and advocated harsh force against the Nazis during Hitler’s coup in 1923. In the years before, Mueller was aggressive against the Nazis until they seized power in 1933. this crucial stage, we must analyze Müller carefully. He went from being anti-Nazi to being a fervent Nazi administrator for his survival. During the 1930s, Heydrich patronized Mueller for his professionalism and dedication to the job. In fact, Heydrich appreciated him for his police duties against the Nazis themselves.

We have to go into details. We can see that Heydrich hired the Mueller Gestapo to execute special tasks for years to come. Heydrich was known to be the mastermind behind the mass arrests and executions. He could have used Mueller’s prior history to eliminate him. On the contrary, Heydrich advised and promoted him. Two things happened here. One is that Mueller became loyal to the Nazi cause. Second, his loyalty and obedience went only to Heydrich, his original employer, who gave him carte blanche where he can use his professional skills and creativity. Mueller was never a politician. Rather, Heydrich was a politician committed to National Socialism to uphold German nationalism and eliminate Jewish dominance in the political and economic affairs of post-war Germany in 1919.

For any young person, career is important. They switch sides, they switch allegiances for the good of their career. We can analyze the personality and mentality of the Gestapo Mueller in this way. Mueller had extraordinary talent when it came to surveillance, espionage, intellectual execution and more. To excel in the profession he has to be loyal to Heydrich and that gave him professional satisfaction. And then what happened?
Let’s go further, we can see Mueller playing a key role in Red Orchestra. Adolf Hitler wanted world domination, he wanted to outwit the West in a direct war, to wipe the Soviet Union off the world map. Heydrich was the man who vehemently executed Hitler’s pet theme: Aryan supremacy, destroy communism, anything that is propagated by the Jews, and wanted to create a world free of Jews. To achieve this, Hitler depended on Heydrich, who was Henrich Himmler’s deputy. What happens at this point. Himmler gives orders to Heydrich, who came up with barbaric plans and Gestapo chief Mueller simply executed them. When the West became hostile to Germany, Hitler made strategic deals with Joseph Stalin to obtain oil and wheat to support his war effort.

We all know that the Soviet Union is a natural enemy of Nazi Germany. On the contrary, the West was just an artificial enemy. Mueller was a talented professional. Records say Mueller orchestrated espionage and counterintelligence activities, infiltrated the Soviet espionage network in Germany and distributed false information to the Soviet Intelligence Service, also known as the Red Orchestra. Judging by the events, we can understand one thing, he had cultivated key people in the Soviet intelligence wing. You can use this relationship for his own survival or success and this will be the most important part of the puzzle in Mueller.

Deepen. In 1942, Mueller’s original boss, Heydrich, was assassinated by British-trained Czech insurgents. Once the leadership changes, the attitude of the people will also change. Towards the end of 1942, the Germans faced total defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad. Now a clear scenario emerges. The Soviets were in a position to expel the Germans from the Soviet mainland and they can do more. It is at this stage that Mueller’s role becomes suspect or “forces of circumstance” leading one to think of survival.

We all know that only fools will make suicidal decisions. The Soviets want key information, the intelligence officers in Moscow were friends of Mueller during the Hitler-Stalin pact where Germany benefited from oil and wheat and the Soviets received know-how from Germany for weapons modernization. Stalin was a tough negotiator, and Germany had to part ways with technology, according to other information under Gestapo supervision, Mueller said. So after the Battle of Stalingrad, what happened? The West wanted to open a second front in Italy or France, but was wary of the huge loss of manpower. But there is only so much time, as the Soviets won another victory in the Battle of Kursk, followed by the one that ended the Siege of Leningrad. Now Comrade Stalin is talking tough. He is talking about the ‘total capitulation of the enemy’, he follows the German invaders to the cradle of Nazism, which is Berlin.
That means? The top Nazi leaders were trying to save their lives. Some put Allen Dulles at the head of the OSS to buy peace with the West with the assurance that the ‘War in the East’ will continue. Interestingly, Soviet intelligence was getting up-to-date information. If one reads the book ’17 Moments of Spring’, one can learn about spymaster Otto Von Shtirlitz, a mysterious Soviet spy who skillfully helped abort the German nuclear plan and blocked secret negotiations with the West by key Nazis like Walter Schulenburg, a Henrich loyalist to Himmler. The book also talked about how the German V2 rocket intended to be used against the invading Red Army was made to disappear and how the Polish city of Krakow was saved from German mining thanks to Shtirtiz’s careful planning.

Yulian Semenov, author of ’17 Moments of Spring’, was a Soviet spy. We see in history, after the successful completion of the sabotage, Shtirlitz led the Soviet Union and was decorated as Hero of the Soviet Union by Stalin. Now the question is who is this Shtirlitz? Researchers have proven that Otto Von Shtirlitz was a fictional character. Although the leading Nazis wondered about the outcome of the war and spoke among themselves against it, Shtirlitz said nothing against the war. It was also said that Shtirlitz also killed only once. But by careful reading, one can understand that Shtirlitz was an encyclopedia of information about Nazi Germany. To outsiders, Shtirlitz appeared to a positivist about the war or appeared to a Hitler loyalist. An image carefully cultivated to mislead readers.

Let’s make a comparison at this point. We can see one person in Nazi Germany who seemed unfazed by the outcome of the war and that is Mueller. How can we affirm this? Following the Normandy landings, Allied Liberation troops fought in France to liberate it. In German terminology, it is known as the ‘Bulge Offensive’. Interestingly, Henrich Mueller made an interesting comment on this: “After the Ardennes Offensive, Paris will be recaptured.” One can interpret this as a ‘confidence or willingness’ not to surrender to the Allies. But think of another way, since we need to have lateral thinking to get to the truth. If the Allies are defeated in the Bulge Offensive as Mueller hopes, the invading Red Army may not only reach Berlin, but may also reach the shores of France as it liberates nations one by one from occupied Nazi Germany.

The plot thickens. Now the image is clear. Mueller was a professional and clearly understood that this was the time of Stalin and that the only way to survive was to turn to the Soviet Union both for a career and for survival. He had cultivated friends in the Soviet intelligence wing during the Red Orchestra. The spymaster featured in ’17 Moments of Spring’ is none other than Henrich Mueller, who executed key tasks for the Soviet Union. If so, what about information like ‘Shtirlitz killed only once’? The answer is simple, this information was carefully thought out to mislead the thinking or to avoid suspecting Mueller.

Circumstantial evidence clearly proves that Otto Von Shtirlitz is Henrich Mueller. Mueller clearly knew that if he defected to the West, Nazi hunters would catch him. For him, the easy escape route was Moscow, where he would empower himself and compromise under an iron curtain. Without him, the Soviets could not have facilitated the liberation of Europe. Now that the needle of suspicion is pointed at Mueller, who did things for the Soviet Union in World War II, one of the most wanted among the Nazis responsible for the holocaust, Soviet intelligence should declassify the secrets about Mueller. It is also time for Mossad and the CIA to take a proactive role in bringing the truth to the public.
