Well . . . wasn't he assigned charge of the Sicherheitspolizei in 1936 . .. and then command of RSHA in 1939 - which sealed the deal for control of the Police and the SD? So by that time, this would have rated him pretty "high-on-the-order" of the Main Office - or at least a few of the various departments it controlled. So maybe that title would have been most fitting for him, at that time? In all those years before the War, many of those "titles" and "ranks" seem to have been in a continuous sate of flux . . . and as fast as things were changing, I doubt anyone really knew what was appropriate from one day to the next.

Love notes between gay SS were common.

He's not wearing two cuff titles, he's got a piece of paper tucked into his cuff. This was a common thing to see!

Daluege, Nebe, Himmler, Heydrich and Müller.

If you zoom in on the original image (look online) you will see it's a glass on the table reflecting his cufftitle, he is not wearing two different cufftitles.

Mueller (& I don't mean Robert) worked for American intelligence & even lived in D.C. after the war !

No, right credit here is Ulrich of England.

This CT does not deserve any credit, in fact the bad hair day is better than this 4th Reich item.
