They also supported to members of Operation Carbon. 
In the autumn of 1944, two confidents of the Gestapo infiltrated the intelligence network created by the Clay group. Both Gestapo informants, František Bednář and František Šmíd, were verified through London's Radio, and Brno's Gestapo managed to gather and destroy information about members of Clay group by February 1945, the same month in which Šmíd was executed in February 1945 by members of the Jan Žižka partisan brigade.
After they were taken by surprise by the Gestapo in the village Tvrdonice, the group managed to shoot their way out and hide in the villages of Hrušky and Josefov, where they made radio-contact with London. They joined partisan fighters and sent 800 radio messages and coordinated weapons drops. It was one of the most successful operations of the war.
