Yes, they did. Nuclear weapons were first produced in World War 2, and delivery systems were evolving that included missles instead of just manned bombers. People were afraid of nuclear attack. School children were taught to hide under their desks if a warning went out. Those who lived in or near large cities knew these urban areas had been targeted, along with military installations. This was all due to the cold war that America was in with Russia. The people were sure that both nations would attack, and destroy them.
