Common card · No. 202079

Siegfried Friedrich Heinrich Müller (26 October 1920 – 17 April 1983), referred to as "Congo Müller" (Kongo-Müller), was a German-born soldier and mercenary. Müller was an officer-candidate in the Wehrmacht in World War II and, after emigrating to Apartheid South Africa, became a mercenary commanding part of 5 Commando in the Congo Crisis. Given substantial media coverage by foreign journalists in the Congo, Müller achieved widespread notoriety in West and East Germany in the mid-1960s as a result of his activities in the Congo and overt nostalgia for the Nazi era.
