... Evacuation Coursework 3- "Evacuation was a great success" Do you agree or disagree with this interpretation? When the war broke out in September 1939, the government knew that aircraft would be used for the first time to attack civilian populations. Many writers saw the opportunities of using aircraft to bomb civilians such as J.F.C Fuller and General Douhet. Casualties would be immense if the government could not intervene and help, thus 'Operation Pied Piper' was put into action. Operation Pied Piper was the codename for evacuation during the war. The threat of civilians being targeted in war was very real, as illustrated in the bombing of Guernica by the German Air Force - The Luftwaffe. Britain prepared for 'Total War' When deciding whether evacuation was a success, it is necessary to analyse the figures. The ministry of health predicted 600,000 deaths and more than 1,200,000 injuries in the first six months of war.
