Oh, dude, so like, back in World War II, the British government wanted to evacuate children from cities to keep them safe from bombings, right? And they named this whole thing "Operation Pied Piper" because, like, the Pied Piper from that fairy tale lured away the kids, but in this case, it was more about keeping them safe than leading them to a magical land. So, yeah, that's why they called it that.

ViviWell, honey, Operation Pied Piper was called that because they wanted to lure the kids away from danger like the Pied Piper lured rats away from Hamelin. It was a clever way to get children out of harm's way during World War II in Britain. So, there you have it, a little history lesson with a touch of sass.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question? The evacuation in Britain was called Operation Pied Piper because it was named after the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a figure from a famous folk tale who led the children out of the town. Just like the Pied Piper led the children to safety, this operation aimed to evacuate children from cities to keep them safe during World War II. It's important to remember that even in challenging times, there are always helpers guiding us to safety.
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?

Operation Pied Piper - the evacuation of children and other vulnerable people, began on 1st September 1939 long before the blitz started, but was anticipated.
How long did evacuation last in World War 2?
In world war 2 evacuation begin on October 28, 1938, Polish Jews living in Germany were arrested and taken to the river marking the Polish-German border and forced to cross it.From World War 2.And more recently when we ran out of tea and crumpets.the first ever evacuation was 2 days before the ww2 started :)
Why were children moved out of the cities during World War 2?
Children were moved out of cities and out in to the country side because the cities had lots of people in them and were being bombed. the country side was safe because there were not that many people. I hope this is helpful.
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 .
