    I have learned that my father was a spy for the OSS working in Paris from 1935 to 1940 . He posed as an opera singer (he actually had a trained operatic voice and sang minor roles in Germany-- Max Birnbaum). A female opera singer who sang at the Paris Opera House in 1940 saved his life. Her first name we believe was Ilse or Alice. She probably also sang in Vienna. Can you help me find her?
