Bahnick was a German Comintern member.

At the start of the war, she returned to the Soviet Union.

She undertook further training in radio and parachuting in Petrovsk and Kuibyshev.

1942

In 1942, Eifler, along with GRU agent (and husband) Wilhelm Fellendorf, was trained by Soviet intelligence in sabotage, wireless telegraphy and parachuting.

In May 1942, they were both parachuted into East Prussia by a Russian bomber, with separate missions to contact members of a Berlin-based resistance organisation that was later known as the Red Orchestra ("Rote Kapelle") and conduct spying operations.

Unable to complete their separate missions, they travelled to Hamburg where they were hidden by Fellendorf's mother.

There they made contact with Bernhard Bästlein and hid at the safehouse of Viktor Priess.

The couple were eventually arrested by the Gestapo.

On the night of 16–17 May 1942, Eifler parachuted into a location close to the city of Allenstein in East Prussia with her husband,

Wilhelm Fellendorf, and two other agents, Erwin Panndorf and Willi Börner, in a veritable suicide mission.

Eifler and Fellendorf formed one operational group, Panndorf and Börner formed the other operational group.

Each group arrived with identity documents, food stamps, money and a wireless telegraphy radio set.

After about 10 days, the couple reached Berlin.

While there, Fellendorf and the other two agents were to scout military objects as well as determine troop strengths and movements.

Eifler's task in Berlin was to re-establish contact with Ilse Stöbe and through her, contact Rudolf von Scheliha, She had been given Stöbe's address, as well as those of Emil Hübner and his daughter, Frida Wesolek.

However, Eifler found Stöbe was working in Dresden at the time and was unable to make contact with either Hübner or Wesolek.

Unable to get permanent accommodation, Eifler and Fellendorf decided to go to Hamburg where Fellendorf's mother lived, in the hope of finding some communist connections.

When they were established in Hamburg, they tried to retrieve their buried WT sets and found they had disappeared.

After speaking to another parachutist Walter Gersmann, who had been dropped on 18–19 May, they found he had been captured by the Gestapo and was now working as a double agent for the Gestapo.

He had given away the position of the radio sets and they'd been confiscated by the Gestapo.

Through contacts, they managed to meet Bernhard Bästlein who was part of the communist Bästlein-Jacob-Abshagen Group.

Bästlein thought they were initially provocateurs and made no secret of the fact.

Bästlein referred them to Red Army intelligence officer Viktor Priess who worked in the Bästlein organisation.

Together with his mother, Marie Priess and his brother Heinz, they hid Eifler and Fellendorf at Marie's apartment which was used as a safehouse.

1944

After completing a Funkspiel operation, Eifler was sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp where she was murdered in 1944, aged 35.
