Re: Hans Müller, captured North Africa, ca. May 1943

Khaki is correct

According to Shores it seems the British for a while thought they had captured Karl-Friedrich Müller. Instead it was the already mentioned Hans Möller. If we add the teutonic two dots over the o the mistake is even more understandable. The British, to this day I might add, have no idea how to pronounce anything with rings and dots on top....

Cheers
