- ―Ernst Mueller to Roger Dooley[src]
Mueller joined the armed forces of the Third Reich and actively participated in World War II. He rose in ranks until he became a Colonel. During the war, he committed many war crimes, killing many people, including children. In 1944, on the Eastern Front, Mueller and his men were stationed in the area near Finow. When they searched for the Soviet troops, they discovered the bodies of hundreds of Soviet soldiers, massacred. Although they were not responsible, the Mueller and his Nazi soldiers ended up receiving credit for the deaths.[1]

"I was in Finow."

After the war, Mueller was arrested and tried at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg. He was sentenced to death by hanging. A day before the execution, he was visited by Roger Dooley who offered Mueller a pill to commit suicide and defy his captors if Mueller gave information on the battle at Finow. Mueller complied, thinking he was given a cyanide pill; but the pill was actually a breath mint and Mueller was hanged later that day.[1]
