Oberfeldwebel Herbert Kumper - KG53 - killed August 1941

[rickback4444]

Hi,

Picked up a portrait of this flier together with a letter from his staffelfuhrer - Hans Joachim Grundmann - which probably describes his loss but cannot read German.

Can anyone provide information on his loss?

Thanks

Rick
