In the early 80s, I worked with a guy who was a member of the "Atomic Soldiers Association". He was one of the soldiers you see getting into the slit trench, at 5:45. He had to climb out of the trench and walk toward the mushroom cloud shortly after detonation. He said that every year, the members of the the ASA would gather for a convention, and every year, several of the members would be reported deceased. The members who passed on had died mostly from cancers associated with radiation exposure. They all knew they had limited life spans, due to their service in the post war army. He figured he was just another soldier giving his life for his country.

"...troops are unable to proceed to the blast center for several hours..." I wonder about the rate of cancers among the 1500 troops as compared to other men of similar age and backgrounds.

"Private Smith we have this special job for you"

WOW! This video presentation has left me very nostalgic and slightly radioactive!

At 45:46, the narrator says the cinder block houses survived the blast the best, as opposed to the standard wood framed homes. Sounds like the "3 Little Pigs", only the huffing and puffing is done by a bunch angry atoms, not a hungry wolf.

So nostalgic for my atomic childhood... was Titan Ii crew member during the cold war

I'd like more atomic mixes. Superb work!

As a little kid in the late 50's early 60's, I'd have recurring nightime dreams of waves of planes with long slender wings roaring overhead, probably from seeing some movie involving B-52's in such scenarios...talk about subconcious reinforcement.

Ah, the Cold War. When I was a kid, we always had to do drills where we ducked and covered, but they told us it was to protect us from tornadoes. I'm pretty sure it served a dual purpose, but I don't know if telling us that tornadoes could kill us at any time was any better than telling us that nuclear war could kill us at any time.

The round goggles brought back nightmare memories

The civil defence guy who's like "if the people of Nagasaki and Hiroshima had known what we now know about civil defence, many more lives could have been saved" like the US didn't intend to deliberately kill people to death by nuking them.

I just watched an episode of after mash that specifically had the first nuclear video in, a gi they were treating was at a few of the tests and ended up with cancer.

Flatbush ave near brooklyn college, All the cellars were converted to shelters. We had announced air raid drill with sirens.. With the duck and cover adds all was made easy to do a body count.

Civil defense guy tells the kid that they don't need his help because "everything is under control." Dude, you just got nuked. That's the exact opposite of "under control". In real life, even if there'd only been one detonation in the entire country it would be a colossal disaster! This guy treats it like a concert that got out of hand. I also love the warning to be aware of flying glass, followed by a single window shattering as the family is sheltering. What, did the atomic bomb throw a rock through your window? Probably cut your car tires and left a bag of flaming poo on your doorstep too!

Funny you should say that. Nuclear weapon capable bombers are near the Finnish border. Nuclear warhead capable missiles are on the Ukraine border. People, including embassy staff are evacuating eastern European countries under the threat of nuclear attack. Poland is inspecting bomb shelters. Iodine pills are being issued. The Poseidon intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo, and their mother ship have been launched. I have no idea if it can travel up the Potomac, Mississippi, or Thames. The UK has been caught with its pants down because the government sold all the shelters, and became slack in their civil defense. There's old films. I wouldn't be surprised if the United States was in similar condition. The fallout shelter signs have long been gone locally. I doubt Gen Z knows what they look like.
