Hans Müller (lawyer)

Hans Müller (born 18 September 1906 in Giessen; died after 1947) was a German lawyer.

Müller was the personal assistant to the head of the Nazi Party Chancellery, Martin Bormann, and a judge at the People's Court.

[1] At the end of July 1940, Müller was transferred to the Reichskommissariat Niederlande, until he was recalled to Munich in the spring of 1941 to work in the legal department of the NSDAP headquarters.

[2] In August 1942, Müller joined the Nazi Party Chancellery, where he initially became a member of staff in the constitutional law department of the Justice Group, which initially reported to Ministerial Counsellor Herbert Klemm, then Secretary of state Gerhard Klopfer.

After Hitler's death was announced on 1 May 1945, Müller, in consultation with the head of the stenographic service at the Führer Headquarters, Kurt Peschel, decided to destroy all the stenographic documents of the military briefings from September 1942 to April 1945 that had been brought to Berchtesgaden.
