Note 15: There is some uncertainty about, partly when VEPRO moved to Hellerup, and partly when the company closed down. According to Mrs Roepstorff, VEPRO moved from Hovedvagtsgade to Svanemøllevej at the turn of the year 1941/42. Mrs. Roepstorff was at that time engaged to her later husband, Anker Roepstorff. The couple was married on April 16, 1942, i.e. approx. 5 months before VEPRO closed. Karen Egesholm, who herself worked at VEPRO, can supplement by saying the following: ”[…] I worked at” Vepro ”from Sept. 1941 - Sept. 1942 in a large white villa on Svanemøllevej. I was 14 years old and it was my first job. At that time, there must have already been a shortage of materials, for I was set to wash celluloids free of color and ink, it took place in a large bathtub with lion feet. On the celluloids there were advertisements for e.g. Aspirin; when they were clean they were hung to dry. Later I could sit in the drawing room, where it was drawn up and colored. Here the celluloids were sanded and polished so that there was not a stain left.

The director was Else Emmertsen. When I complained about the tedious work, I came to color the half day. I do not remember how many girls there were, but names like: Henny Hynne, Birgit Wendelin, Hjørdis Høegh-Nissen, Gunvor Voss, Ingibjørg Einarsson, Grethe Wrangel, Tove Møller, Esther Andersen, Karen Hjerrild, Lizzi Svoboda, Betty Köser, Vera Elisiussen, I am sure worked there. Only Henny Hynne, Esther Andersen and Karen Hjerrild I met again at "Dansk Farve- og Tegnefilm." We girls sat on the first floor of a large bright room. The cartoonists were in the living room. Here I remember Bjørn Frank Jensen, Chris, Roepstorff and Jørgen Müller. It was one of those icy winters and it happened there was no heat in the house when we met in the morning so everyone was sent home again.

The director Jørgen Stengel was German and he was called up and posted to Italy. He came home on leave and visited the company in uniform. We were not happy with the "greens", but he gathered us in his office and told us about his experiences in Italy. He and his wife were good people. I do not know what became of them since.

There was a cozy tone and atmosphere in the house. On the 1st floor, where we sat, there was a large balcony outside. Here we sat with our packed lunches when the weather was good. I think we ended completely in September 1942. […] ”
