It Go BOOM!
This 13.5 minute short tells the viewer what Civil Defense is preparing for in the event of nuclear war with the USSR. It then presents the most detailed information I've seen on the preparation of a Nevada nuclear test site, but very little about the aftermath. You'll see soldiers in trenches some distance from ground zero leave them after the blast and march through contaminated areas.
I couldn't find the date this was made, but I'd guess mid-1950s.
I downloaded the 91MB MPEG4. It played in VLC. Video and audio quality are fine.
