This year Tonybrost (aka Team "B") and I have decided to hide the 10 mile caches on the "other" side of the road, thus being traitors to their cities, hence the series name. I will hide south (Eastpointe) of 10 mile while Tonybrost (aka Team "B") will hide north (Roseville) of 10 mile. You may think that some of the people that these caches represent are not traitors but, you must remember it all depends which side you are one doesn’t it? Hope you enjoy the series.
Karel Curda (10 October 1911 – 29 April 1947) was a Czech World War II soldier from the Czechoslovak army in exile. He was parachuted into the protectorate in 1942 as a member of the sabotage group Out Distance. He is known for his betrayal of the Czech and Slovak assassins of top Nazi Reinhard Heydrich in Prague through Operation Anthropoid.
His reward was 500,000 Reichsmarks and a new identity, "Karl Jerhot". He married a German woman and spent the rest of the war as a Gestapo spy.
After the war, Curda was captured and hanged for treason at Pankrác Prison.
