In September 1939, the British government embarked on the biggest civilian operation in British history when it moved over a million children out of British cities to live with strangers in the countryside.

In this episode, we'll learn about this amazing mission and the mark it left on the country.

• September 1st, 1939 - the start of Operation Pied Piper • Why children were sent away before the first bomb had even fallen • Which cities were affected by evacuation? • Dividing the country into three separate zones for evacuation • Why it was called Operation Pied Piper • Who was actually evacuated? • Sending gold to Canada and paintings to Wales • How the children were chosen to stay with host families • How urban children reacted to countryside life • Why the children returned after a few months of "the phoney war" • Government propaganda: "Don't Do It, Mother. Leave the Children Where They Are" • The Blitz starts and the children return to the countryside • The mixed reaction of the evacuated children • Psychological effects on evacuated children • The mark Operation Pied Piper left on the country
