Hans-Georg Müller (14 January 1879 – 6 May 1916), was a Rotgeheiman Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel) in the Verteidigungsstaffel. Müller is most known for his actions during the Invasion of Scheinfeld.
When he was airlifting casualties away from a forward air base to a rear medical station, Müller's aircraft came under intense anti-aircraft fire that took out two of four engines, sending the plane into a steady dive. Although the initial bursts of anti-aircraft severely wounded Müller (which blinded his left eye and perforated his left lung) and killed his co-pilot, he was able to safely land his plane in a field. Despite the quick arrival time of a rescue crew, Müller's wounds were too severe and he perished soon after. Without his brave efforts to safely land the damaged aircraft, all of the wounded personnel would have surely died in a fiery crash. For his heroic actions in preserving the lives of his fellow servicemen, Müller was awarded the highest honor a member of the Verteidigungsstaffel can receive: the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
Müller was married to Charlotte Stahlschmid, with whom he had a son.
