Efter att ha trålat igenom OS-deltagarlistorna har jag till slut hittat Victor de Laveleye, som bör vara rätt.
Exakt!

Hördes i Radio Belgique som BBC sände för lyssnare i ockuperade Belgien. Och anses vara den som låg bakom V-tecknet.
” In a radio broadcast on 14 January 1941, de Laveleye 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 and vulgar insult (it means "fuck off").”
En prima radio och frågan till dig!
