Well, my History teacher told me this story where he spoke to man who was evacuated, he sed that he was one of three, he had one younger and one older sister. He sed that life was tough, but yet he verry much enjoyed it. He used to live ion London with his Mother Farther and two sisters, his mother worked in a bomb factory as his farther went off to war. He got evacuated from London to St.Day (in Cornwall) to work on a farm His little sister went to Penzance (in Cornwall) to work in a local shop and his older sister went up to Scottland to be a woking maid in a fancy house. I got told thart there were a lot complaints from the local people about these children, this young boy had never seen a cow, and when asked to mike one, replied with "You cant milk that!" " Why ever not?!" "Science when can you milk a horse?" replied the young boy. Other complaint were alsom risen, such as we cant understand the, they speek werried, there rubbish at playing Rugby!! They smell, have nitts, and there clothes are all smelly scruffy and dirty, one young child even stole but yet sed. "my dads a robber, i wanna be like him when ui grow up, so i need to practice!!" By this all of the children were underclassed, and not treated as well as they could of been, but they were gratefull, and got food and a roof over their heads. Although i do know that this verry man did occasinally get to visit his little sister in Penzance, but apart from that, the strain and upset as well as missing out must of been rather stroung on this children and mothers, and some had no contact, and did not see each other for many years, this man appx. arouned 5 years!!
I think it means both. During the Blitz eg. the air raids interrupting peoples jobs and also the aftermath eg. the destruction of buildings, homes, lives etc.
Women began to speak out about issues that affected their ability to raise their children
No unless they could disguise them selves
The children needed to be protected from dying in the bombing blitz. The Ministry of Health came up with a program to evacuate the children, some mothers, disabled and very old people to the countryside. The "evacuees" were sent to farms and other country homes. Many of the children loved seeing farms, farm animals and the countryside for the first time. Some suffered from home sickness. It did work. After the blitz was over they came home to their parents.
From 1942 onwards German children were evacuated to rural areas from the big cities.
They were evacuated in the fony war, the blitz and after the blitz stopped

Operation Pied Piper - the evacuation of children and other vulnerable people, began on 1st September 1939 long before the blitz started, but was anticipated.
