Thanks Larry,

I think it's the last one. Maybe there is someone who know the man's firstname and rank.

If I'am correct, men of Fallschirmjager 9 took part in the battle of the Bulge with Kampfgruppe Peiper.
Could this man be one of them?

Yes, FJR 9 fought in Ardennen Offensiv and the man of this Sb was probably here.
About Fj. Regt. Muller, the informations given by Larry are the best. Last rank of Muller was Major and his first name was Rolf. His unit was the first name of FJR 22 (8. Fj. Division). Before, he is also given to have commanded the Fallsch. Jager Batl. Wittstock (between 12. 44 and 02. 45), who became the III. Batl. of FJR 22.

I recently found some info on Fallsch. Jg. Rgt. Müller.

In December 1944 both FJR Hübner and FJR Müller were sent to Roermond to assist the 176th Infantry Division on the front along the Maas River. Both Hübner's and Müller's regiments were used for training paratroops and were not numbered regiments, but rather carried the name of their commander. The correct unit names were “Fallschirmjäger Ersatz und Ausbildungs (paratrooper replacement and training) Regiment Hübner” and “Fallschirmjäger Ersatz Regiment Müller”.

During January 1945 the regiment was assigned to the 15th Army, and positioned on the Maas River, protecting the northern flank of the XII SS Corps. Elements of FJR Hübner conducted a spirited defense of St. Joost while under attack from the British 7th Armoured Division during Operation Blackcock, January 19 - 21, 1945. The efforts of Hübner's men notwithstanding, the British closed in with support of flame-throwing tanks and seized St. Joost.

During Operation Blackcock, English-speaking Fallschirmjäger of FJR Hübner were organised into a special patrolling section. The forty hand-picked men of this section spoke excellent English and were selected to infiltrate through the allied lines and cause as much trouble as possible. On several occasions during the first half of February the commandos who were holding the line near Linne in the Roer Triangle, were surprised by nightly patrols of this special section.

In February 1945 Hübner’s Battle Group was designated Fallschirmjäger Regiment 24 (FJR 24) with the regiment still under the command of Oberstleutnant Hübner. In March 1945, FJR 24 was placed under command of Major Zander. As FJR 24, the regiment fought a delaying action in northwestern Germany, finally surrendering to British forces south of Bremen in April 1945
