The Allies adopted the "V" as a symbol for VICTORY to inspire them to fight for victory over their enemy. They printed the "V" in advertisements and products. They held up the first two fingers in a "V".

The Morse Code for the letter "V" is . . . - (or Dot-Dot-Dot-Dash).

If you hum the Dot-Dot-Dot-Dash, it can begin to sound like the first 4 notes of Bethoven's 5th Symphony.

In the movie "The Longest Day" there is a scene where this is depicted and somewhat explained. The soldiers are on a ship at night waiting to invade France. A plane flys over flashing a light and spelling out "V" in Morse Code. The soldier sings the tune from Bethoven's Symphony.
