Description: When war came, the authorities in London and Berlin operated evacuation schemes that sent children into billets and camps in rural reception areas. This study of the British evacuation and Third Reich Kinderlandverschickung traces local developments through sources, for the earliest plans contemplated in London during the 1930s to the collapse of the Third Reich and delayed return of Berlin children in 1946.
