 It was reported here that guer- rillas in Albania, Greece and even Rumania have joined in a secretly planned and co-orcinated offensive against Axis garrisons and supply lines in an attempt to form . sec- ond front and aid Russia by com polling the Germans to divert men from the east.
 Mikhailovitch's own offensive, which is becoming more important daily, is part of comprehensive plan for a general anti-axis upris- ing in the Balkans when the zero hour comes.

 Bahr's assignment may have had to do with aviation, it was believed. since he had received an excellent technical education and was consid- cred an expert on aeronautics. A brother George, who speels his last name "Baehr." is employed in Buff falo at the Curtiss- Wright aircraft plant.
 High School Classmates
 High school classmates of Bahr in Buffalo remembered him as "bellig- erent and "antagonistic." They said he was disgruntled when high school faculty members who had aided him financially through Rensselaer, Poly technic institute refused to pay his living expenses in Germany after he was awarded a fellowship to study at the Institute of International Ed- ,lcation in Hanover, Germany.
 Bahr's wife is employed as a housemaid in Buffalo. His young son lives at the Albany Home for Children. He came to the United States with his parents in July, 1928. He went to Germany ip 1898 and, FBf agents said, had not com- municated with his wife since 1899.
 At Rensselaer, he was an outstand- ing athlete, earning varsity leters in soccer, track and football. Even that did not make him popular with fel- low students, who described him as aloof and peculiar.
 In Buffalo, his gray-hAired moth- CT, who had assumed her son was acquiring 6 German technical edu- cation, rather than indoctrination in Nazi theology. sobbed bitterly.

 He had Hnemorized the back ground of a Jewish family to avert suspicion. He had 47,0oO in Ameri- can currency for passage and bribes; had been shown how to get war information and furnished with "cover" addresses in Spain, Switzer- land and South America.
 He was ordered to use invisible" ink to write messages on the backs of innocent looking conmunicati ations.
 Director J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI said in Washington that Bahr had attended 6 German technical school ct Hanover, and worked in various German industrial plants. He admitted, Hoover said, that the Gestapo began training him in Co., tober, 1041, for an espionage job in this country.
 Bahr, who has Q wife working as maid in the home of . Buffalo, N. Y., doctor and a three-year-old son living at the Albany, N. Y., Home for Children, came to the United States in July, 1030, and went to Buffalo where he entered high school.

 Stockholm sources were quoted aE crediting Witzleben with responsi- bility for the German attempt to take Moscow, Leningrad and Rostov last fall, in defiance of the German general staff, and for the German declaration of war on the United States.
 Witzleben was the second of Hit lers' army favorites to lose out re- gently, 1t was said. The first was Col.-Gen. Heinz Guderian, tank specialist.
 Brauchitsch assumed the chief command of the German army in February, 1898, when Hitler dis missed Col Gen. Werner Won Fritsch who was killed in Poland in Sep tember, 1889. It has been assumed that FritSch was murdered by the German gestapo or by Nazi Ss troops.
 Brauchitsch in turn lost out last December, after the collapse Of the German offensive against Russia Hitler himself, in addition to his supreme command of all the armed forces, assumed the active command
 At about the same time Field Marshal Walther Won Reichenau commanding on the southern Rus sian front, died, allegedly of apoplexy. It was assumed that he also had been shot along with Col.- Gen. Ernst Udet of the air force.
