i dont know that was one purpose but they diden't reach full productions.
the US army diden't make anythig for evacuations i reckon, nothing notable, nor france, britian, russia, dide'nt evacuate their citizens. in britian were left on their own, russia, villages were burnt by the army as based on stalin's doctorine, in france they were ABSLOUTLY on their own, no protection at all, they attacked germany thinking those maginot bunkers were gonna save them from a pussey fight, but guess what, the germans went right around it
cheers, please don't start a fight.
british children living in cities were evacuated to the countryside for safety
