This dissertation examines German and French civilian evacuations during the Second World War. Evacuations, which removed vulnerable civilians from endangered urban areas, were an essential, yet inherently problematic response to the new challenges posed by aerial bombardment. The study of these population transfers opens a window into the relationship of Germany and France through war and occupation, highlights the privileges of belonging to a "national community," and reveals the limits and powers of authoritarian states at war.

520 $a This dissertation examines German and French civilian evacuations during the Second World War. Evacuations, which removed vulnerable civilians from endangered urban areas, were an essential, yet inherently problematic response to the new challenges posed by aerial bombardment. The study of these population transfers opens a window into the relationship of Germany and France through war and occupation, highlights the privileges of belonging to a "national community," and reveals the limits and powers of authoritarian states at war.
520 $a Evacuations have thus far been studied predominantly in a non-authoritarian context, one country at a time. This dissertation, in contrast, examines the interaction of Germany and France in this field, concentrating on the heavily bombed regions of Normandy in France, and the Ruhr industrial area in Germany. Since France was occupied by Germany for most of the Second World War, French evacuations can not be understood without reference to Germany. At the same time, evacuation experiences in France helped shape measures within the German Reich.
520 $a Evacuations were poised between the negative and the positive, and balanced delicately on the borders between state paternalism, coercion, and public tolerance. Despite the fact that evacuation measures saved lives, they met with widespread popular opposition. This opposition, which was rooted in family-based concerns, rejected government-mandated policies and thereby questioned the legitimacy of the regime. Popular reactions to evacuation underline the importance of the family as a source of dissent and a constraint on authoritarianism.
520 $a Although evacuations appeared to be available to any endangered French or German citizen, in fact they were far from being a universal right. The humanitarian thrust of evacuation policy was deeply marred by the exclusion of many individuals living in France and Germany during the war. One of the least-recognized, yet profoundly important aspects of the evacuations in these nations is the extent to which they overlapped with, and were connected to, the racialist and eugenic policies of the Nazi regime.
520 $a This dissertation shows how, in an authoritarian climate, the benefits that are elsewhere considered to be universal rights instead become the marks of privilege and of belonging to the "national community." The study of civilian evacuations also sheds light on the interaction of Germany and France through the war years, and on the strengths and weaknesses of authoritarian states.
