Former Gestapo General Heinrich Mueller, who was the late Adolf Eichmann’s immediate superior, was living in a Cairo suburb as recently as a year ago, disguised under the Arab name of Amin Abdel Megid, and had previously been engaged in writing anti-Jewish propaganda for Egypt’s President Nasser, according to the London Daily Express.
Two months ago, reports spread in Germany that three skeletons discovered in a German grave included Mueller’s remains. Later, it was established that Mueller’s corpse was not among these three. Now the Daily Express, on the basis of its own investigation, has established that Mueller had escaped from Germany early in 1945, when he perceived that Hitler had lost the war.
Mueller’s movements, according to the newspaper, were traced to a hide-away in Munich, then to an Alpine ski resort in Austria, then to an Italian village on the Austro-Italy border, finally to a Catholic college in Italy where a Yugoslav priest obtained for him stolen identity cards under the name of Jan Berlinsky, presumably a Pole from Lodz, Late in 1945, he went to Spain, thence to Egypt. He wrote anti-Jewish propaganda for Nasser in 1949. He disappeared from the Cairo suburb a year ago, but “the hunt is not yet over,” the newspaper stated.
