Ludwig Müller with His Jäger


Generalleutnant Ludwig Müller (center, Kommandeur 97. Jäger-Division), affectionately called “Wurselsepp” with genuine Bavarian humor by his soldiers, discuss details of the operations with his officers. The picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Beissel on 6 November 1943. Only two weeks previously - on 25 October 1943 - Divisionskommandeur Müller was awarded with the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes for his leadership of the 97. Jäger-Division during the campaign for the Kuban bridgehead, and in particular the fighting for Hill 114.1 (east of Moldawanskoje) in the time period 16 July - 14 September 1943. Here the Soviets tried many times, in vain, to seize this important hill from which all their movements in the area could be observed. It was only following the German evacuation of the Kuban bridgehead that this hill finally fell into their hands.
