Government experts advise that the pale Western cutworm has damaged many fields this year. Control is only possible with prior summerfallow precautions, including stopping work by August 1, keeping fields undisturbed until mid September, and restricting livestock to prevent egg-laying by moths.

Across occupied Europe the letter V stands for victory and freedom. Slogans appear on vehicles and posters while civilians, sailors, workers, and even performers spread the sign. Morse code, Beethoven’s fifth, and daily routines all echo the hidden message as Nazi broadcasts show unease.
