Radio Londres-- Part 2: "Jean Has a Long Mustache"

The occupying German forces quickly prohibited listening to the radio broadcast.

Over it, French General Charles de Gaulle called for such protests as emptying Paris' streets for an hour, demonstrations, preparations for D-Day, "V" for Victory.  he told the French to paint Vs on walls.

Sometimes the Germans were able to jam the signals.

The station also sent coded messages, often an obscure personal one like "Jean has a long mustache" or "There is a fire in the insurance agency."  Sometimes it even meant absolutely nothing, but the Germans would think something was in the works.

Even Ducks Getting Into War Effort

From the April 4, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1943, 75 Years Ago.

"Even ducks are becoming interested in war work.  At least that is the impression gained by Mrs. Walter Joslin of north west DeKalb, who found a duck egg, bearing a perfect "V," which under present circumstances means only one thing, "V for Victory."

"The "V" in the duck egg is formed in a lighter color and is about three-eighths of an inch high.  The egg is being displayed at the Quality Feed and Supply Store at the present time.?

Thanks Winston.
