In a radio broadcast on 14 January 1941, Victor de Laveleye, announcer on Radio Belgique, asked all Belgians to use the letter "V" as a rallying sign, being the first letter of Victoire (Victory) in French and of Vrijheid (Freedom) in Dutch. This was the beginning of the "V campaign" which saw "V" graffities on the walls of Belgium and later all of Europe and introduced the use of the "V sign" for victory and freedom. Winston Churchill adopted the sign soon afterwards, though he sometimes got it the wrong way around by displaying the back of his hand, a gesture that is widely used in Great Britain as a lewd insult. The soldier depicted in this model kit giving V sign may be unaware of the offensive meaning of holding up his hand like in this gesture, or he may very well be. Important! This item is unassembled and unpainted. All extra model kit(s) and figure(s) in the pictures are for illustrative purposes only, and they are not included.
