'For Their Own Good'

Civilian Evacuations in Germany and France, 1939-1945

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
