The early twentieth-century advent of aerial bombing made
successful evacuations essential to any war effort, but ordinary
people resented them deeply. Based on extensive archival research
in Germany and France, this is the first broad, comparative study
of civilian evacuations in Germany and France during World War II.
The evidence uncovered exposes the complexities of an assumed
monolithic and all-powerful Nazi state by showing that citizens'
objections to evacuations, which were rooted in family concerns,
forced changes in policy. Drawing attention to the interaction
between the Germans and French throughout World War II, this book
shows how policies in each country were shaped by events in the
other. A truly cross-national comparison in a field dominated by
accounts of one country or the other, this book provides a unique
historical context for addressing current concerns about the impact
of air raids and military occupations on civilians.
