Kampfgruppe Müller at Leros

On 12 November 1943 German troops from the Kampfgruppe Müller (Müller Combat Group) raided the island of Leros (Greece) which was occupied by a combination of British and Italian troops. Just four days later, the defenders surrendered to the invading forces. This photo was taken by Kriegsberichter Ernst A. Zwilling of Lw KBZ 18 (Luftwaffe Kriegsberichter-Zug 18) in the vicinity of the Ägäis region on November 17, 1943, and shows Generalleutnant Friedrich-Wilhelm Müller (center, Kommandeur Kampfgruppe Müller) having a conversation with Korvettenkapitän der Reserve Dr.med. Günther Brandt (Chef der Minenschiffe Ägaïs). Sitting behind the wheel is Hauptmann Hans von Bargen (Adjutant Schlachtgeschwader 3) who joins the raid force. Kampfgruppe Müller itself is a combination of the Wehrmacht's land, sea and air units whose name is taken from the name of the Commander, Friedrich-Wilhelm Müller, who was originally Commander of the 22. Infanterie-Division stationed at Crete Island.
