This is a replacement for an archived cache "Krptocache" GCV11D

The coordinates will take you in front of a house that was used as an operating stand of one of illegal Sparta transmitters in WWII (check: there is 8 white windows in the front side of the house). Every day a number of brave people put themselves at risk to ensure the connection between the domestic resistance and Czech intelligence headquarters in Britain. The connection was critical for building the position of Czech exile government, for the coordination of the resistance and for the Allied intelligence services that could thus be supplied with information of prime importance by the president Benes. The operation of the transmitter was terminated by the assault of Gestapo on 7.5.1941.

You will find the coordinates of the cache in this dispatch encrypted by Playfair cipher:
Eg tuom oby lef. Uigen lkubo z, nmp qeudqy! Uf, nmuc uztud znaqyna ylbo zneir. Yqy gf qlux duiz?
The key phrase: the name of the street where the above mentioned house stands.
Star = sum of the digits of the house number (on the red tag ).
Square = 2-digit number on the blue tag divided by 8.
Instuctions for Playfair cipher can be easily looked up in the web, just search for „Playfair“ in google.com.
