Strasbourg Evacuation 1939

In September 1939 the entire population of Strasbourg was evacuated. Being so close to the German border it was considered unsafe for the population of approximately 200,000 people to remain.

Where were the people sent? How was it achieved? And when did they return? And were any other major towns evacuated, on either side of the Border?
