Arrest - On 12 September 1942, Stöbe along with Carl Helfrich were arrested by the Gestapo in their apartment at Ahornallee 48 in the Westend of Berlin. Stöbe was charged for spying for the Soviet Union and for membership of the Red Orchestra (Die Rote Kapelle). Soviet blundering had led to their arrest when they forwarded a message to Gurevich on 28 August 1941 that was decoded by Wilhelm Vauck of the Funkabwehr in July 1942 that contained sufficient detail to identify Stöbe. After seven weeks of torture she was compelled to confess to conspiratorial connections to the Soviet secret service and to Rudolf von Scheliha. He was arrested on 12 October 1942. Both were sentenced to death for treason on 14 December 1942 by the Reichskriegsgericht, and executed on 22 December 1942 in the Plötzensee Prison in Berlin, she
