The following newspaper excerpt (dated 15.03.1943) describes why Müller was awarded the Knight’s Cross…

“Major Müller and his Bataillon defeated an unceasing onslaught by far superior enemy infantry/tank forces north of Orel over the course of 3 days. His Kampfgruppe was repeatedly encircled by the enemy in this time, however it was always able to fight its way to freedom whilst destroying a total of 4 Soviet tanks during the process.”
