HISTORY: Bert the Turtle public service announcement regarding the atom bomb

This week on iHistory Radio, we bring you an old radio broadcast in the years shortly after WWII. Broadcast for kiddies by the Civil Defense Administration - this is a real public service program to help children learn to "duck and cover" in the event of an atom bomb in the 1940s. 

While a tad creepy, this short program-- a mix of kiddie characters and life or death subject matter -- shows us how serious the threat of an atom bomb was believed to have been.  NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.
