I see that with a good looking wife there comes a paranoia, that a late 20's boat and windmill builder will drive 3000km in a Japanese rustbucket just to grab something

Depending on where you were located geographically, the availabilty of fallout shelters was really quite useless. If you were in a "high-value" target area, the amount of destruction would have been so enormus and the lingering effects afterwards so unlivable, instant death would be far more preferable, as noted above by a previous poster. In my hometown of San Francisco, at the time of the Cold War, the city was the headquarters of the U.S. 6th Army, a major U.S. Naval port, and had in the areas surrounding several "hidden" missle installations. If a full-fledged atomic war broke out, the city was toast. Most of us in the city just kind of ignored the threat and just went on with life as usual (or as ususal as life can be in San Francisco)...

If it's any comfort, a nuclear war will only last about twenty minutes.
If you ain't underground, you ain't.
