The hunt for Wilhelm Kube began immediately after his appointment as general commissar of Belorussia. In March 1942, Minsk underground fighters received orders to poison Kube. One of the underground Grigory Glukhov was to give the poison to a dishwasher working in the kitchen of the General Commissariat. At the last moment this plan was abandoned, as local residents who worked and ate in the same kitchen could have been killed. In July 1942, a group of partisans led by Maria Osipova planned to organize a car crash - to crash a truck into the car of Kube, but this plan had to be abandoned because of the complexity of its realization.
