About this listen
Americans in the early 50s were told there was a "civil defence gap", and that the Soviets were superior in protecting their population? Was this true?
As mentioned in the pod, I quote from two academic articles. They are:
'Soviet Civil Defence: The Mineshaft Gap Revisited' by Josh M Weinstein, Arms Control Today, Vol 12, No 7, August 1982
'Was There A Real Mineshaft Gap?' by Edward Geist, Journal of Cold War Studies, Vol 14, No 2, Spring 2012
