Footnote:
Bomber Wing 100 took part in the occupation of Denmark and Norway. In August of 1940, the unit was transferred to France, from where it participated in the Battle of Britain. After the attack on Russia, Wing 100 was tasked with bombing raids on Moscow, and later other targets in the east. In December of 1941, the 2nd Squadron, Trümper’s unit, was established. Initially it was placed in northern France and fought enemy ships in the British Channel. Later, it was redeployed to Italy and southern France (Istres) to fight Allied navy targets in the Mediterranean. After D-Day, Bomber Wing 100 was one of the units sent to defend against the Allied invasion of Normandy. However, Trümper was no longer flying at this time. On February 25, 1944 he was part of five man crew and served as observer under Oberleutnant Rudolf Metzig, tasked with attacking a railway station at Novo Alexeyevka in the Crimea. The plane did not return from this mission and the crew was pronounced MIA.
