(1950s) Civil Defense Recruiting Film "WARNING RED"

ATOMIC ATTACK PREPARATION AND SURVIVAL PROPAGANDA


Here is a early civil defense classic scare tactic post attack film showing ordinary civilians right after their city is hit by enemy (soviet) a-bombs .

Our story revolves around citizen X who caught by surprise is tossed in to a hellish nightmare and the people he meets while searching for his family, at one point he comes across people trapped under a apartment building and he and another citizen start digging them out only to be stopped by the block warden who yells down a pipe telling those trapped under debris to wait until later for a rescue and then goes about sending citizen X on a paul revere type run spreading the word to seek shelter and listen to conelrad while civil defense units go about assesing blast damage and waiting on a radiation survey team.

the video is great atomic propaganda and worth watching
