Приказ поступил в части вечером 3 июня 1945 года и лихорадочно выполнялся вплоть до вечера 4 июня, так как начало вторжения первоначально было намечено на 5-е. При этом есть многочисленные свидетельства того, что его нередко нарушали и красили полосы без соблюдения требований по размеру и размещению.
