To my disgrace I've never heard of it! The reason for the name is the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin (Hamelin, a town on the Weser river in Germany). The Pied Piper was not paid for relieving the city of rats & so he played his pipes & all the children followed him out of the city. How hot is that?

Was the evacuation of children in world war 2 a success?

yes i deffinately believe so. the government devised the pied piper scheme in order to protect children from the larger cities and the potential air raids. even though during the phoney war many people where evacuated for seemingly no reason, as no bombs fell, it was used as a dry run for the other 2 consecutive evacuations that where done on shorter notice. the only real failure of evacuation was when the city of belnares ( sorry about my spelling) was torpedoed by German subs killing over 70 children. yet with people all over Britain opening their homes to help towards the war effort,it was a great sucess, as it gave mothers more time to work in the RCAF and things, so all in all even though some children had bad eperiences, it saved their lives, so there ya go that's my GCSE answer lol have a great day all .

The Ministry of Health was responsible for Operation Pied Piper. That was the name of the evacuation. They kept track of the kids and where they went. Unfortunately, there were over a million children involved and the ministry could not check on all the parents and children and host families. Most kids were well taken care of but others were abused and even had their ration cards stolen. Some kids ended up in the wrong place or were separated from their siblings.

Which year did evacuation start?

Because: It was safer in the countryside because cities were being bombed.Evacuation started because Germany lost World War 1 and they wanted a piece of land that belonged to Poland so Germany invaded Poland when the rule was not to invade or go into other countries and then certain countries got involved because Germany didn't stop fighting with Poland at the time they were supposed to and then had to face war with most countries.Afterwards Germany then took a step to far and tried to invade Russia. Then mostly all the soldiers were killed by the Russian army. That was the time evacuation all started. It was called 'operation pied piper'.
