Betr.: Allmëhlicher Ausbau der V-Aktion. In the manner of the Reich Protector's office in Böhmen and Mäh:en the V-Al:tion, since it has fulfilled its purpose, is now also gradually dismantled in the Protectorate. The gradual dismantling must be carried out in such a way that all the V--signs which are affixed to the object are no longer renewed, but must be removed in such way as to become unsightly and shady by means of weather conditions, etc. These are, for example, V signs with lime or removable paint on motor vehicles, driving dans, mounted on walls, fences and window panes. In addition, V-sticks, V plates, V transparent, V wires and flags may no longer be used, but must be gradually enifered. However, the V-marks used in a dignified and durable execution must not be removed for the time being. This also applies to force-yagens on which the V sign is affixed in a proper and durable manner. Each further activity in the V-propaganda has to be stopped. The Eerren commanders, location commanders and site managers are asked to reduce the corresponding measures.
