World War 2 evacuation process?

Children would leave their homes and would be evacuated to somewhere safe like the countryside. Some of the mothers would be evacuated as well, some of them would even go to war to fight, but most of them stayed at their homes in the city, possibly facing their death. Children would go with their schools to the train stations and families from the countryside or any other safe area would come and choose the children they would like to come with them. The children would have to be well behaved and clean to get chosen.


What cities did children have to be evacuated from during World War 2?

Evacuation took place during the first months of World War Two. Evacuation was a potentially traumatic occurrence and the government tried to lessen its impact by issuing advice to all of those impacted by evacuation. This advice was delivered to what the government referred to as "evacuable" areas - the advice is clearly biased towards the government's viewpoint - that evacuation was for the best and pushed home hard the potential consequences of what might happen if children were not evacuated from danger areas.The evacuation of Britain's cities at the start of World War Two was the biggest and most concentrated mass movement of people in Britain's history. In the first four days of September 1939, nearly 3,000,000 people were transported from towns and cities in danger from enemy bombers to places of safety in the countryside.•Schoolchildren (827,000) and their teachers•Mothers with children under five (524,000)•Pregnant women (12,000)•Some disabled peopleWhere were the children taken to?The children were not evacuated to any city at all. They were evacuated to smaller towns and villages in the countryside. Some children were sent to stay with relatives outside in the countryside, but others were sent to live with complete strangers.


Why did children leave the city in world war 2?

they would have been moved away so they couldn't get hurt... they would have been moved because the parents wanted to protect them. they would have been moved to the contryside. [just if u want to know where...]


How did being evacuated feel?

being evacuated was different for many children. some loved the country, other hated being a way from the town or city that was considered unsafe for them to life in. the answer depends on the child. scared, excited, happy, frightened.


How did children feel in World War 2?

All children were evacuated to the countryside where it was considered safer. This did cause the potential children who may die from bombings to reduce massively. However, they had to leave their parents and often they were split from their siblings. Many children were told by their parents that they were going on an adventure so they wouldn't become upset. they were all evacuated on 1st September 1939 however tyhere were no bombings and parents claimed it must have been an exaggeration so they decided to return home. Later though in 1940 the blitz started so they had to be re-evacuated. Sometimes the evacuees would live with very strict guardians and were treated unfairly and sometimes used as a worker;this sometimes meant that boys were more popular. So to conclude putting all these ideas in to mind i have to say that life must have been awful for children.
