This original Cold War ephemera is an information sheet on the hydrogen bomb from the NSW Civil Defence in Australia circa 1950/1960s. A fascinating piece of history from the era of tension and paranoia between the Western Bloc and the Soviet Union. This collectible item provides insight into the mindset of Australians during the Cold War and is a must-have for any militaria enthusiast or historian. Perfect for those interested in the nuclear arms race and the threat of nuclear war. An extremely rare piece of Sydney history! Text from the Powerhouse Museum collection: The early Cold War period witnessed heightened tensions between the world's super powers, The United States of America and the Soviet Union, and this was expressed, at one extreme, by the arms race, especially in the making of a fission (Atomic or A bomb) and/or a fusion (thermonuclear or hydrogen) bomb. The brochure illustrates the extent, effects, and practical measures that Sydney and surrounding areas could expect from the detonation of a hydrogen bomb in central Sydney and the publicity prepared by a mostly volunteer organisation to alleviate as much suffering as possible under this extreme manifestation of a nuclear weapon explosion. The material provides evidence for the fears and concerns expressed by the nuclear age and its effect upon Australia's largest metropolis and its citizens during the middle of the twentieth century, and how the 'body politic' of civil defence was brought to the attention of the public at this time.  https://collection.powerhouse.com.au/object/445256?fbclid=IwAR2YIU6PP1LGaHys7a_kmMUAEDpU1muQlz3WJV4F1Hd7RqW9dsGHEjSh308
