Approximately 3.5 million people, mainly children, were evacuated en masse by the British Government during World War 2. They were sent to towns and villages in rural England where they stayed with relatives, or in many cases, complete strangers. People offering accommodation to evacuees were paid by the Government for their efforts.
Evacuation occurred three time during the war: at the outbreak of war; during the Blitz in 1940; and during 1944 and 1945 when London was being attacked by German V1 and V2 weapons. On each occasion many evacuees returned to ther homes when the threat was perceived to have reduced.
It is impossible to say how many of these were saved by evacuation because we can't know if they would have been killed had they not been evacuated.

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 .
