Siegfried Müller
Siegfried Müller (born 26th October 1920) is the Reichskommissar of Reichskommissariat Zentralafrika. He was born in Crossen an der Oder, Germany in 1920. After serving in the Hitler Youth and Reich Labour Service, Müller joined the Wehrmacht in 1939, fighting in the campaigns in Poland, France and on the Eastern Front.
Müller entered his duty as a Reichskommissar in the newly-acquired German colony of Central Africa in the 1950s, but he mostly neglects this duty in favor of go on safaris in the wildest lands of Africa. Instead of spending time on actual managing of the colonies, Müller uses his Reichskommissar's privileges to pursue his main passion of hunting and adventuring.
He became prominent as one of the most lenient Reichskommissars in the German sphere. While his regime is still oppressive towards the native Africans, slaves have many opportunities to earn their freedom by serving in either the government or military.
He is shown to be on a first-name basis with the other staff of the Reichskommissariats, much to the annoyance of Hans Hüttig and Edmund Geilenberg.
In-game
At the start of the game, Müller begins in control of Zentralafrika, and spends most of his time hunting, leaving administrative duties up to Rolf Steiner. He is notable for having the best publicity of all three of the African Reichskommissars, even having been interviewed on American TV against all odds. While he is officially at odds with Free France, he is on friendly terms with Jacques Massu, to the point of inviting him on hunting trips.
As with the other two African Reichskommissars, he will participate in the South African War as part of the Afrika-Schild. If the war ends with either the Schild still intact, or during the war, Hüttig took the "Brudermond" focus, Hüttig will invite Müller and Wolfgang Schenck for what he claims is a celebration at his manor. However, Müller will send Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma in his steed. This act ends up saving Müller's life, as Hüttig will kill Schenck and von Thoma. Horrified, Müller will have Steiner arrange a flight in secret to Germania before Hüttig's henchmen can get to him.
After fleeing from Africa, Müller can reappear in the story of the Greater Germanic Reich in two ways if Hermann Göring is victorious in the German Civil War.
- If Göring is able to conquer the SS State of Burgundy without triggering mutually assured destruction (which, while difficult, the game does account for), Müller will become Reichskommissar of a reformed Reichskommissariat Belgien (a Reichskommissariat created from Belgium, which used to be part of Burgundy).
- If Göring dismisses Ferdinand Schörner after the completion of War Plan B, he can name Müller as Schörner's replacement as the leader of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht. If this happens, Müller will take the position for exactly one day, before leaving for Morocco on another hunting trip before a second Civil War engulfs Germany.
In one of the post-apocalyptic events, after surviving a helicopter crash, he is taken in by a peaceful African tribe. After recovering for a week from shell shock, he emerges from his recovery and teaches the tribe all he knows about hunting, and spends the rest of his days recounting stories of his hunts to the tribe. The tribe mistakes him for a divine being sent by a higher power, so when he dies, he is deified as a guardian spirit of the hunt, and the tribe takes his name for their own, calling themselves the "Muhlar Tribe."
