Atomic War, Civil Defense and Fallout Shelters.
Manage episode 313182141 series 3261182
In this episode, I will examine the culture of civil defense that existed in the 50s. Many Americas believed that with proper planning, the US would survive an Atomic attack. I will review two TV presentations from the 50s that convey that perspective. First up is Atomic Attack, a fictional account of a suburban housewife surviving an attack. The second is a documentary entitled A Day Called X, the program demonstrates how effective civil defense can be if planned according. The document uses real people and not actors including the Mayor of Portland, OR where the story takes place.
