The Betrayal is wrong
9 June 2019
In the Movie Operation Daybreak, Martin Shaw, playing Karel Curda, was in fact not married, Curda betrayed his Comrades for the money the Nazis were offering, and after all the Men in the Church were Killed or in the case of the last two assassins, Jan Kubis and Jozef Gabcik Committed Suicide, Curda's reward for treachery 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 collaborator. After the war, Curda was tracked down and arrested, when asked in court how he could betray his comrades in the way he did, Curda replied, "I think you would have done the same for 1 million marks", it is thought that this comment might not have been made, however, there is no evidence to repudiate this, Curda was found guilty of treason and hanged on 29 April 1947. In the Movie, it is made out that Curda did what he did to save his Family, Curda did NOT have a Wife, and therefor, did not have a Family, the motivation for what Curda did was greed, there is a theory that he was married and did what he did to protect his rumoured Family after what happened to Lidice, when the whole town was demolished but so far, there is no actual evidence to prove this theory Karel Curda was a coward and a collaborator for the Gestapo
