evacution
Evacuation was introduced in 1939 - the government decided that the cities were simply too dangerous for the children, so 1.5 million children and pregnant women were to live in the countryside that's because Hitler sent his air force to bomb Britain but the air force won't be able to see small houses but they can see cities.
Children had to leave their parents and go live with strangers but the strangers choose what child they want to take care of. Many children stayed away from their homes for 6 years and only saw their parents occasionally,but sadly 38000 children never saw their parents again
All children HAD to take a gas mask with them everywhere even in the toilets because who know when Hitler would have dropped a bomb. They only had small suitcases to keep a teddy bear,clothes,tooth brush and a gasmask.
here is a short video about a boy who went to live in the countryside because of the biltz,keep watching you will find some valueable facts. |
