Sweden 1944 – Who are they?

RB Trumball

I have connected with the daughter of RB Trumball, tail gunner on the Liberty Lady, but would love to see if anyone else "out there" knows of him.

The above photographs are scanned from Herman and Hedy’s albums from Sweden.  Several were named, and if so, I have noted that. The year would have 1944. I would love to know where these gentlemen or their families are today.

I must give credit to Bo Widfeldt and Rolph Webmann’s most-valuable-book-ever “Making for Sweden, Part 2” for the details about the American internees.

If you are interested in the American Internees in WWII Sweden, please join our active Facebook group. Members are showing their photographs and making connections every day!

As always, I am searching for clues … Thanks in advance for your comments and additions.   I can be reached at pat@libertyladybook.com.
