As the final days of the Second World War in Europe occured, with Berlin being bombed
heavily there was chaos brought to the capital of the Third Reich.
Hitler himself was hole up inside of the Fuhrerbunker, and he refused to leave Berlin and had decided
to die inside of his bunker.
The area around the bunker was under immense pressure, but on the 30th April 1945 Hitler
took his own life and over the next few days, other members of his inner circle did the
same, or attempted a breakout.
There is still much mystery about what happened to a number of high ranking Nazis who seemingly
disappeared after being last seen at the Fuhrerbunker.
One man was Hitler’s personal secretary, Martin Bormann who its believed died in the
fighting around the city.
However another man who seemingly disappeared in the fall of Berlin was Heinrich Muller,
a high ranking member of the SS who was the Chief of the Gestapo.
But there is a disturbing belief about what happened with Muller, and it’s that he possibly
was buried inside of a Jewish cemetery, despite being a man who was complicit and took an
active role in the holocaust and the final solution.
So join us today as we look at, the gestapo chief buried in a jewish cemetery.

As the Chief of the Gestapo, Heinrich Muller became known as Gestapo Muller and he was
trusted by Hitler, Heydrich and also Himmler.
He was responsible for making the Gestapo a feared instrument of the Nazis who used
it to terrorise the population of Germany and occupied lands, and to use the Gestapo
for hunting down any resistance.
The Gestapo under his leadership were successful in infiltrating and destroying groups who
were in resistance to the Nazis, and they also hunted down communists and other political
opponents.
It was Muller who was involved in the false flag Operation Himmler, which led to the Germans
justifying their invasion of Poland under false polish aggression.
Muller had during this operation collected around a dozen condemned men, and they were
dressed in Polish uniforms.
Muller told the men they would be pardoned and released, however instead they were given
lethal injections and were shot in the head, to make them appear as if they had been killed
in false fighting.
Muller was also involved in espionage, and he also kept an eye on the Abwehr under Admiral
Wilhelm Canaris.
Following the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, who was Muller’s superior, Ernst Kaltenbrunner
took over and Muller remained close to Heinrich Himmler.
Together he was involved in the plans for final solution and the plans to exterminate
all of the jews of Europe and along with other senior SS figures such as Adolf Eichamnn,
muller was involved in the planning.
Eichmann infact was Muller’s subordinate, and Muller was also involved in the Nazi policies
towards the jews, and he had given instruction previously to Eichmann to deport around 80,000
Jews.
Despite his work being police work, Muller was in charge of the movements to execute
and exterminate the Jews of Europe, and Muller received a number of detailed reports about
the Einsatzgruppen.
These death squads its believed killed more than 2 million during the cover of the Second
World War, and Muller ordered that the einsatzgruppen should commit their murder away from the view
of spectators.
He was present at the Wansee conference, and was involved in securing the killing operations
for the extermination camps.
Muller played a central role in the organisation of the Holocaust, and there was clear evidence
of his involvement after the war.
His subordinate Adolf Eichmann after the war would be brought to justice, but Heinrich
Muller would never face any sentence for his crimes against humanity.
Muller continued to work in organising the holocaust, but also was placed in charge of
executing and arresting all of those involved in resistance acts against Hitler, including
the July 20th Plot.
His gestapo arrested around 5000 people with the failed bomb plot against Hitler, and around
200 people were executed.
Muller stated that, ‘We won’t make the same mistake as in 1918, we won’t leave
our internal German enemies alive.’
As the Second World War turned against the Germans, Muller remained in his job as the
Head of the Gestapo, and he still believed they would win, and he backed the Ardennes
offensive to lead to a recapture of Paris.
In April 1945, Heinrich Muller was within the last remaining members of Hitler’s inner
circle and Nazi government, who took shelter inside of the Fuhrerbunker in central Berlin.
He was there whilst the Red Army fought their way into the City during the Battle of Berlin.
He was given one final task, to capture and interrogate Hermann Fegelein, as he was arrested
following news reaching Hitler that Himmler attempted to broker peace with the Allies.
He managed to locate Fegelein, but then Fegelein was executed.
It was noted that on the 22nd April 1945 by Traudl Junge, Hitler’s secretary that Muller
was inside of the Bunker that day and was seen talking with Hitler.
It was also said that Muller had assumed Ernst Kaltenbrunner’s duties, and it was confirmed
that 8 days later on the 30th April 1945 Muller was once again inside of the Fuhrerbunker.
He was in full uniform on the afternoon that Hitler took his own life.
Muller’s last sighting was on the evening of the 1st May 1945 inside of the bunker,
the day after Hitler died.
Hans Bauer, Hitler’s pilot said how ‘We know the Russian methods exactly.
I haven’t the faintest intention of being taken prisoner by the Russians,’ meaning
that senior Nazis would have preferred to take their own lives than fall into the Russian
hands.
From the 1st May 1945, there has been no other trace of Heinrich Muller, and he remains the
most senior Nazi who’s fate still remains a mystery.
But it’s believed that as Berlin fell to the Soviets, that he either was killed in
the fighting or infact took his own life, and his body was never recovered our identified.
There have been efforts for find Muller’s whereabouts after the Second World War, and
the CIA searched greatly for him.
They could not find his location, body or grave, and it was even possibly believed that
he could have survived the intense fighting around Berlin.
Muller’s family in the 1960s were placed under surveillance, and there were a number
of reports that his body was found after Berlin fell, but none of these reports led initially
to a concrete line of inquiry.
They were all rather contradictory.
It was even considered that he could have been working for the Soviets.
However, it has since been reported that Heinrich Muller himself was buried and interred in
a mass grave, which is rather disturbing based on the work he completed in his role within
the Third Reich.
It’s estimated that 70,000 civilians and soldiers died in the last three weeks of the
war in Berlin, and after the fighting the cleanup operation began.
There were many corpses in streets, and each district of the city had a group of gravediggers
who were to collect corpses and bury them in mass graves.
A number of these mass graves were inside of the Mitte Jewish Cemetery, and in particular
there were an estimated 2700 bodies inside of the Jewish cemetery.
Evidence was discovered from a local gravedigger named Walter Luders who approached police
in West Germany in 1963 and he stated that he had buried Heinrich Muller’s body, and
he was interrogated a number of times.
He was shown photographs of Muller and he said, ‘I can say that the person pictured
on the photo was in appearance identical with the corpse,’ and he said he buried Muller
inside of the Jewish Cemetery which at the time was in East Berlin.
The graveside at the time could not be investigated, and since there has been no attempts to investigate
the gravesite.
In 2013, the claims regarding Muller being buried inside of a Jewish cemetery came out,
and historians believed that they had finally solved the mystery after seeing documents
that the Gestapo Chief was infact buried inside of the Jewish Cemetery.
It’s believed that in the fighting around the Fuhrerbunker which was intense and brutal,
that Heinrich Muller either was shot dead by soviet troops, or took his own life in
Berlin-Mitte.
It’s believed that soviet forces did not identify him or did not treat his remains
with any special consideration, and then he was buried inside of the mass grave inside
of the Jewish Cemetery.
This does leave a bad taste in the mouth, as ‘a body in a generals uniform with Muller’s
identification documents,’ was interred inside of the mass graves.
The fact Heinrich Muller’s body today may still remain inside of the cemetery of the
people he tortured and inflicted such suffering on is a huge mark of disrespect, and is incredibly
tasteless.
But still today no DNA confirmation or extraction of any remains to confirm that Muller lays
inside the cemetery has not been carried out, and with this we can not 100% confirm the
truth.
