S5 E02 - Lucy Siebert on Protect and Survive

This week we are joined by the Curator of Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker in Cheshire, Lucy Siebert. Lucy joins us to rage that “PROTECT AND SURVIVE ISN’T SHIT”, and about Nuclear Civil Defence through the 1960s and beyond.We’ll be talking the pros and cons of both the pamphlets and the public information films as well as the darker purposes and plans involved. We talk preservation of the state vs preservation of the people, the impact of nuclear attack and whether anything like Protect and Survive would be successful today.You can visit Hack Green Nuclear Bunker, near Nantwich, on most days of the year and can find out further information on their website here and you can follow Lucy on Twitter @thebunkerlady.You can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.
