Lived in Amsterdam, Okeghemstraat 24hs. Son of Johan Joseph Gijsbertus Temme and Geertruida Wilhelmina Dibbets. Married to Jacoba Janna Christina Hoogland (lawyer and prosecutor). Photo editor at NV De Arbeiderspers/freelance photojournalist for various foreign magazines/retailer in arts and crafts/second-hand furniture dealer. Dutch Reformed. Member of the resistance under the pseudonym Groen.
Soon after the capitulation of the Dutch army in May 1940, he was active in the Committee for Free Netherlands. Among other things, he forged identity cards and helped persecuted Jewish fellow citizens. In February 1943, the Sipo wanted to arrest him in his home because one of them had been caught with an identity card Temme had forged. However, he was not at home at the time. His pregnant wife was taken away, however. She was released three weeks later. Temme was a member of the KP-Amsterdam detective agency from September 1944. In that capacity, he observed people who worked for the occupying forces. On 26 February 1945, he was arrested in his home town while shadowing an important Sipo employee and transferred to the detention centre on Weteringschans in Amsterdam. Temme was executed by firing squad as reprisal for the attack on SS-Befehlshaber Hanns Albin Johann Baptist Rauter on 6 March 1945 near Woeste Hoeve. One month later, his second son was born and named after him.
