A Sudetenland Medal Award Dcoument to Colonel Hans Ludwig Müller

An award certificate for the Sudetenland medal, measuring 148x203mm, extremely fine condition with minor age discolouration and two punched holes. The recipient is Oberst (Colonel) Hans Ludwig Müller. The document is dated to Berlin on July 17, 1939. It is signed in blue ink on behalf of Generaloberst (Colonel General) Keitel by a Major Lennartz. The award is commonly known as the Sudetenland Medal. However, its official name is 1 October 1938 Commemorative Medal (Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938), as it commemorated the annexation of the Sudetenland, a part of the Czech Republic, by the German Reich. It was awarded to those that made an outstanding contribution to this process.

Footnote: Hans Ludwig Müller was born in 1893 in Mannheim, southwest Germany. He joined the German army in 1912 and made Lieutenant by early 1914. In 1917 he was promoted to Oberleutnant (Senior Lieutenant).

Between the wars he joined the police force in Berlin. Müller rejoined the army in 1935. He was promoted to Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) in 1936, to Oberst (Colonel) in 1939, and to Generalmajor (Major General) in 1942.

Müller commanded various Signal units, most notably the Army Signals Regiment 512, and was stationed in Belgium and Northern France between 1940 and 1944. However, at the end of the war he was redeployed to Latvia where he was taken prisoner by the Russians. He was released and returned home in 1955. Müller died in 1970. During his military career he was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd and 1st Class, and the War Merit Cross 2nd and 1st Class with Swords.
