Nuclear air raid drills

were part of
everyday life for
schoolchildren in the
late 1940s and early
50s.
Children were taught

to duck and cover

under their desks and
were herded into
school basements for
periodic air raid drills.

TWS The government at

this time knew the
destructive power of the
A and H-Bombs. Why do
you think they would
instruct citizens (in this
case kids) to take
precautions (duck and
cover) during a nuclear
attack, knowing that
most people would not
survive the attack?
