Evacuation of children during the World War II

[daniandamy21]

I would hate to be a child then. i would miss my mummy!! and i'm 13!!!

[SpamWarrior3000]

So many of them are so little. The ones who are obviously trying not to cry are just heartbreaking.

[Im5oC00l]

Excuse me, just wondering, What is the maximum age of the evacuated children?

[bubbles2011forever]

its very helpfu for my project at school, seeing the emotions of all the children makes me fell like i'm one of them

[TitaniaSilk]

@Bowen1987 I think it's from Narnia: the lion the witch and the wardrobe

[Bowen1987]

What music is this... it is very moving?

[clebraity]

Poor kids ='(

[VRamirez95]

this made me almost cry:'(i have a knot in my throat:'(

[JBGLITT3R143]

this is amazing! Vivid pictures and emotion about the days of Evacuation. Had to make a pres in history and this totally helped! thannnks!

[LenaDillmann]

We saw your video during our history class. I cried in front of my teacher. This video is amazing!

[TechnoRhino]

I absolutely love the fact that you set this to the music from CoN:LWW... <3

[myradrealityshow]

Where did they all go? Like i know out to the country, but who did they all stay with?

[Faithfulsophie]

Where did you access the images and video footage?

[patcalutube]

A superb piece of work with very appropriate music selection. Congratulations.

[DutchDukeMan]

Where were they taking to exactly?

[MegaSplin]

only good thing about this war and history is to learn from mistakes and not to commit. the two sides were committed injustices of both the Germans and the allies and the Soviets all know of the brutality of satalin even with their own people, so we do not have the authority to judge the actions of others.

[XxIc3Bb3Xx]

i love this piece of music, and when i clicked on this video i thought it would be great to have this playing.. and it was :D :D :D i love finding out about what it was like in the war, i knew i should have taken history at gsce. great video :)

[RCDUMMIESRC]

I have just viewed this with my 9 year old son as he is doing a history project on WW2 and visiting the War Museum in Cambridge. We both found this fascinating, especially as my grandparents were evacuated from London in WW2.

[fernandis86]

I like the background music. Whats it called? It reminds me of Kevin Kern's work... XD

[xGeorgiaLovesBieberX]

i have to input clips from ww2 evacuation in a history project, would you mind if i used a bit of this one ?=]

[XMizzTuraX]

This helped for my history exam thank you so much =)

[goldguy123]

that is so sad

[caitsmum]

My parents were both evacuees. Near the start of the video there is a little blonde boy looking out of the train window, sucking his thumb. This reminds me of stories I was told by my Nan of watching the train leave the station and my little blonde Dad had his face pressed against the window with his thumb in his mouth and tears streaming down his face. I think it was my mother's family who considered sending the children to Canada and changed their minds. That ship was bombed.

[vyperhawk71]

0:48 'SMOKING'  <<<------- Ha, I love it!

[cainoisflared]

Where did you get the video clips of the children?

[michellenovacek]

This is absolutely fantastic!

[MultiIPwnage]

I hate how I just sit here on my chair with a soda on my desk living well with a internet, groceries stores, and family. I can not grasp the story of this video well, I am at peace, perhaps it is good to be at your lowest point far away from positive nor negative, but still there, in between.

[AnimePonyDragon]

I like the way you put the clips to the evacuation music from Narnia! Gives it a great effect! Good choice! Also, it helps me relax when doing my World War II home work, thanks for uploading! 5/5

[MusikAndLuv]

@cjellwood Oh my you made me giggle

[patcalutube]

Thanks. Beautifully done. The music selection is a perfect match.

[johnaberdeenfan]

o thx alot you made me cry!

[TheEternalMusic]

isn't this Narnia music? IT IS!

but as for the video

*tear* :_(

[TheGreenwoodfamily]

By coincidence, I was listening to James Blunt "No Bravery" while watching this video.

This was an excellent film. Thank you for making it.

[000Winter000]

Get out of America while you still can!

[charIesmanson1488btk]

Is the litz family in here?

[Spamman4]

The war was began by French and England, because they subscribed the treaty of Versailles. That ruined Germany, and they wanted to take back, what the allied took from them. Besides no one deserves the tortures of the war, not the german nor the english peoples. If someone says, that ,,the germans deserved it'', than (s)he is not better than the nazis.

[MusikAndLuv]

@Spamman4 The lesson is to never underestimate a modern European nation. Did they think, with all of Germany's might and scientific prowess, that Germany would sit and take it?

[kevinkards1]

they got what they deserved nazi scum

[rps1011]

The Nazis and the Niponese drew first blood...we finished it.

[rosrychaplet]

my own family would see this happen with the PETER PAN evacuation from Cuba. My uncle was sent out by my grandparents. broke my grandma's heart! he came to the u.s. and that's how we were able to arrive here in the u.s. afterward.

[Malenta]

This is a really pleasant clip. Well done. I think that the music would have been better if it was more contempoary with the time - perhaps Vera Lyn or Glenn Miller?

[SaraBeastsYouAll]

this is the song they play in the chronicles of narnia, the lion the witch and the wardrobe when the children evacuate.

[teadotoz]

My Mum was 8 and in Bristol during the war. I can`t begin to imagine how it must have been....and the horrors happening now in Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan............

[1o951o8]

haha, i missed it by a great many more years than 12, yet i still also wonder at our parents and grandparents wonderful courage. And for holding on during those times when they felt they had no courage.

God Bless.

[JesseUrbin]

Childern and their future is what we fight for.

[gerwiseman]

I was one of those children. It was an experience that I have never completely gotten over.

[d12jackandbriony]

ShutUp. :P

[Willow756]

my grandad was evacuated and he had to leave a sister at home :(

[rutheosmile]

This has been a great resource for my lesson at school.

[ScriptWorker]

A nicely put together project. Would love it to be longer if possible. The cultural and political issue raised are surely for another place. I am sure atrosities took place everywhere, which is why war is barbaric andsickening. It effects everyone at every level. So instead of ranting about this and attacking people who were not directly involved, I think best to build an understanding of the value of life and live to ensure we don't head down the same path....

[12dpine]

i wanna cry! xx

[Elberiver11]

The British-Soviet alliance arranged the Ethnic Cleansing of 14 Million Germans, stole their houses and their ancestral homeland. Churchill called it "in a humane fashion". In truth it was carried out with brutality, torture, Allied gang-rape and murder.

2.0 Million German children, mothers and baby were slaughtered by your British warcriminal Churchill and his fine communist dictator-friend Stalin. To think you call it "liberation". I call it GENOCIDE.

Why is your country lying about it?

[s0lidmilk]

The statements you are saying above seems like your pointing out some dog muck on my shoe when you are covered head to toe. I wouldnt start making judgements like that until you look at what the German did and started.

Thank you for your comments.

[leeadamkindell]

My grandmother is German & was removed from her home My British grandfather was a soldier removing Germans & sneaked supplies to her and her family, they later married after war, So much for raping Germans. Im proud to have a Mix of German and English in me and feel for both sides with the loses suffered, many german soldiers raped females in countrys they invaded if you check your history facts, both sides did bad things during the war.

[Jaimemurrayjackson]

@Elberiver11

there is no love in war and no truth

[osmondgal]

@Elberiver11 are you trying to start world war III??

[InfernalOneShot]

@Elberiver11 Cause you're a bullshitting butthurt German- fag.

[TheMrLDP]

@Elberiver11 dont start a war then :)

[vampgiirl1]

@Elberiver11 yeah cos thats true. and what did hitler do to the jews? think about that instead of humiliating yourself on YouTube. :L

[Elberiver11]

Oh wow, great Angloamerican hollywood-show, tears come to my eyes! So what happened to these children, then? Nothing, they all came back sound and save, didn't they?

But why dont you make a video about the German children, you Allied criminals? They were evacuated the same, but at least ONE MILLION CHILDREN never RETURNED, because they got raped, child-abused, tortured and slaughtered by YOU Allied soldiers! To think you call this "liberation". Be ashamed to be British.

[s0lidmilk]

I made a film about British children because that was the project, if I had made one about German children it would have been a different project. Why don't you make one about German children as you seem to be passionate about it?

To be called an Allied criminal and solider is a first for me but I will take it on board.

I am not proud of everything the British have done, but I am proud to be British.

[happymike44]

@s0lidmilk

What a wonderful piece of film and Thank You for sharing it with us.

Yes evacuating the children and even some of the peolpe became a priority of saving the civilian population from the blitz.

You have done a wonderful job showing us a insight of what life was like for all the British Empire to suffer through.

[NJRocks281]

6 not 60. There has never been 60 million living jews on the planet at any one time in all history. There is only about 14-15 million alive today.

[Willow756]

o sorry, mi mistake :P i get confused

[andmarkcg]

@Elberiver11, well the Nazis killed 6,000,000 "un-desireables". They also imperialized all throughout the war, killing millions within itself. The Germans even invaded and conquered neutral countries. In asia, the Japanese buried alive women and children. Now tell me the British were worse than the Nazis.

[1englishgal]

@Elberiver11 don't blame the allies, blame Hitler and the rest of the germans. My father was in the war for 6 years. Look at who started the war. I'm glad the allies won. Why don't you complain about what the Germans did to the Jews.

[1englishgal]

@Elberiver11 some of the children didn't come back. They were on a ship going to a different country, America I think- and the Germans sunk it. If I was German I'd be ashamed.

[rTgPaula]

@1englishgal

for ? i am 28 and not 100 whot do i have to do with WWII or Hitler or warcrimes?

[islandsylph]

@rTgPaula You asked englishgal what do you have to do with WWII or Hitler and warcrimes...well.... perhaps you need to read history in depth and you will then understand the big picture and your place in it. There is a saying about the men and women who fought in those wars, "they gave their today's, so we could have our tomorrows". Think about it. Learn.

[XMizzTuraX]

@Elberiver11 No some didn't returun because they were happy and healthier there.

[shrebeady]

@Elberiver11

Mate, Are you really going to get that pissed off over something that happened 70 years ago... Besides... I think what your side did was alot worse in WWII... I think you guys killed a little more than 1 million children.. The Jews call it Shoah you guys called it Liberation!

:@

[RockerLolipop]

@Elberiver11 look darlin i i understand tht we werent angels but shall we just hav a little luk at how many jewish CHILDREN wer killed cos of the germans? ohhh yh millions so if u ever diss our country agen think about the jews u idiot

[bettiblee]

My older brother and sister were evacuated from Liverpool to Wales and I never saw them for 5 years. This scheme, although well meaning, split up many families and some never recovered.

[Skinnyboomer]

@bettiblee You must be atleast 75...?

[1989kardasz]

is it possible to upload this video, as it would be good as a resource in my lireacy lesson. Somebody help . pleaseeee

[caitlinthedramaqueen]

i loe that song from Narnia right?

[oliviaaxo]

this was really helpful, thankyouu :)

[avrilrockerstar]

hmmmmmmmm okay could do with a song

[s0lidmilk]

You must not have your speakers plugged in!

The piece of music that is playing is called 'Evacuating London' (from The Chronicles of Narnia) written by Harry Gregson-Williams.

[avrilrockerstar]

oh soz
