Karl Alexander von Müller

[1] However, due to his political openness, other non-Nazi historians such as Karl Bosl, Alois Hundhammer, Heinz Gollwitzer[2] and even Wolfgang Hallgarten[3] also studied under Müller.

In 1908 he gained his PhD under Sigmund von Riezler, with a thesis entitled Bavaria in the year 1866 and the appointment of Prince Hohenlohe.

[4] In the summer of 1919 Müller together with Gottfried Feder gave lectures on political education at Munich University that were funded by the army with a view to countering socialist revolutionary fervor.

As a result of this recommendation, Hitler was selected as a political officer in the team of instructors that were sent to lecture at a German Army camp near Augsburg.

Müller's Institut was given financial and organizational support directly from Goebbels's propaganda ministry, but it was considered to be more effective and socially acceptable if their connection was kept hidden.
