Did the govt. help them move with money?
Was there enough stock of empty houses they could find another one quickly?



I haven't read any stories of how these moves occurred...

...and yes, we should count our blessings...
I've often wondered about these things. I wonder what happened when peoples documents and certificates etc, were lost in fires and bombings ??

My grandparents were bombed out of their house and they moved into another one on the other side of the road. My nan said the house had no glass in some of the windows, and a hole in the roof, but it was at least somewhere to live.
