English Translation

71 - 2 - i.e. we want to take up V as Viktoria. For example, handbills and posters are now being produced in the western occupied territories with the tenor: Viktoria wins over the Soviets near Minsk, so many prisoners, so-and-so many tanks are being destroyed, so much airplanes destroyed, etc. In the public areas flowerbeds are laid out and maintained in the form of a V, soldiers' newspapers are renamed "Viktoria". The action is to be taken immediately and rolled intensely. It should not be carried out in the style of propaganda coming from a secret side, but should be recognizable as deliberately German propaganda. This should disarm the V-propaganda of the enemy side. Heil Hitler! Caogagez. G u t te re r. AA3
