@tofro That makes a lot of sense, I was skeptical that it was just a regular typo since v with an umlaut is not a common symbol, but your explanation makes it seem very plausible.– miraJul 11, 2017 at 16:03

This simply is wrong.
It should be:
BEI VÖLLIGER DUNKELHEIT ENTWICKELN
There is a letter »V̈«, but it is not part of the German language. (Some Oceanic languages use this letter, for example Araki)
