You have to take into account that these shelters belong in the era that we still believed that nuclear war was a definite strategic option viable, survivable and win-able. We of course know better. |

Those are very nice models … How effective the real thing would be is another question ? Of course I remember doing "Duck & Cover" drills under my kindergarten desk …  |

A direct hit surely but a near-miss with the early bombs before the H, possibly. Depended on where you were. I remember a Bomb shelter store down the street from where I lived. It went into business right after the Cuban Missile Crisis. There were four models that were prefabricated and color coded. You had a hole dug in your back yard, plopped it in and then back-filled. Ah, the good old days of the Cold War! |
