From “Vintage ToonCast: Duck and Cover“:

An entire generation of American school children were shown this post-WWII Civil Defense film based on limited information from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Download this ToonCast.

Watching this video today reminded me why America is different now than it was in the 1950s and early 1960s. We don’t have to live in fear.
