    Fallout was something I didn't need to worry much about. Most of my life I lived in the instant flash fry zone. I was going to be part of the fallout.

    The wife and I live 1.5 miles from a naval station. It won’t be gamma rays vaporizing us, but it’ll be a toss-up between the heat incinerating us, the blast ripping the flesh from our bones, or the overpressure crushing us to death.

    This is a very strange film. They already figured out in the 60s civil defense was simply theatrical so may as well retain MAD strategy. I remember back in 1970s going through the county building, saw an office with a CD sign. Asked of any materials, they gave me a couple booklets on how to build a bomb shelter and stockpiling emergency supplies. I mentioned about these to a couple friends, they went to same office, the lady commented "what's with all this interest in CD booklets?" They normally have these 1960s publication in a shelf below the desk. Also back in the Cold War days people somewhat had a plan in case nuclear war were to happen. i.e. if you live in bay area, drive to a high value target like Alameda Naval base or Sunnyvale Air Station so you immediately get blasted to bits.

    civil defense preps were not "theatical". a nuke exchange of that time would not last long and would not blanket the country. if you were rural and your town/county had a decent plan funded by the feds, rebuilding would be very doable

    Most people dont know about a very clever design feature incorporated into fallout shelter signs. In the event of a nuclear detonation, they melt. Letting you know that a nuclear detonation has occurred.

    Most of the Periscope stuff is full length it’s odd they cut this one off maybe it’s a new tactic to get you to spend $$$$! Maybe it’s hiding at archive.org

    The full version of A Briefing on Civil Defense used to be on KZread but was deleted by the uploading channel about three years ago. The film which the civil defense expert presents in the middle of this one is the shorter version of About Fallout (sometimes titled Briefly About Fallout) which you can find on KZread, along with the longer version. After About Fallout ends, the camera cuts back to the folks in the delivery waiting room and pans across them somberly watching television before ending. As far as civil defense films go, this is one of the stranger ones.

    I was on a SAC base in California in the mid-70s. We were about 90 miles from the coast, and about 7 minutes away from SLBM attack. We figured some of the aircraft not already airborne might have a chance to fly, but we were pretty much committed to the idea we wouldn't have to deal with that pesky fight for survival afterwards. 😁

    The heavens declare the glory of the Bomb, and the firmament showeth Its handiwork. Glory be to the Bomb, and to the Holy Fallout. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World without end. May the Blessings of the Bomb Almighty, and the Fellowship of the Holy Fallout, descend upon us all. This day and forever more.

    @@satanofficial3902 I knew that. I have all the movies. Did you see the upside down crosses on the doors to the sanctuary where the bomb was. Fun fact: the set was the same one used on. "Hello Dolly" with Barbara Streisand. The filming almost bankrupted the studio.
