He’s trying to put a picture together for you so that if you choose to, you can see the world as it really is... what’s the significance of the v2? To understand the answer, you first need context. Bowie provides this for you on Hunky Dory and The Man Who Sold The World - Quicksand and Bewlay Brothers for what really happened in WW2... Also, This album was heavily collaborated on with John Lennon, who lyrically devoted his entire solo career to exposing the truth.
