For WW3 we were very conscious that our ground crew life expectance was probably a couple of hours less than ours. Similarly our families on the base might have fared little better crouched in now empty nuclear weapons bunkers. I knew of no plans to provide rations, water or sanitation even though it was talked about housing families in them.
Didn't Gut try a full size evacuation of families to the UK and the local populace thinking the World was about to blow up started to join in, so it had to be cancelled?
