Trying to identify a General Officer!

[old siagon]

Hello,

It has been a long time since I have tried to do research on a soldier of the German Army.

Here is what I have:

Offizier der Panzertruppe im Afrikakorps und späteren General des Bundesgrenzschutzes Müller (Officer in the Tanktroops of the Africacorps and later Borderguard General Müller - the borderguards ment are those of the actual German government).

This has come from my purchase of this 1957 medal bar and Panzer Assault Badge in Silver. The seller provided the above information. I am sorry to say I do not have his first name.





I would like to locate his service record and a photo would be just wonderful. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My best,
Vince

Vince - that is one sweet rack, my compliments to you and thanks for sharing it with the BRD forum.

The Bundesgrenzschutz entry on the German version of Wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesgrenzschutz) makes a mention of a Brigadegeneral Heinrich Müller who was the "Inspector General" of the BGS from 1963 to 1968.

I'm not sure if this is your man or not, but you may want to run a search on
Inspekteure des BGS and see what you can find. I'd also encourage you to post your find on the "1957er" forum if you haven't already done so. Those guys would love to see your latest acquisition and may be able to help you with your quest.

Again, please accept my highest accolades on a splendid and historical piece. I wish you the best of luck in your research. Please keep us posted.

All the best - TJ
