The evacuation of children in Germany during the World War II was designed to save children in Nazi Germany from the risks associated with the aerial bombing of cities, by moving them to areas thought to be less at risk. The German term used for this was Kinderlandverschickung (German pronunciation: [kɪndɐˈlantfɛɐ̯ˌʃɪkʊŋ] (listen); abbreviated: KLV), a short form of Verschickung der Kinder auf das Land ("relocation of children to the countryside").[nb 1]Cite error: There are tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=nb}} template (see the help page).
