to shelter people and soldiers from bomb attacks
The Cold War and nuclear arms races in the late forties through the eighties was the impetus of Americans building bomb shelters. They were convinced Russia would bomb America and they could have if Kennedy had not stopped Fidel Castro and the Russians from sending over their nuclear missiles located ninety miles from the US. Most of the bomb shelters were a joke. They never could have protected the people from the radiation in the air or from the bomb explosion.
In the 60's we called them "bomb shelters."
Built bomb shelters
During World War II, shelters were commonly made from various materials depending on their type and location. Anderson shelters, for example, were constructed from corrugated steel and were designed for use in backyards, while Morrison shelters, intended for use indoors, were made from steel and reinforced concrete. In urban areas, air raid shelters were often built using brick, concrete, or other sturdy materials to withstand bomb blasts. The choice of material aimed to provide maximum protection against aerial attacks.

During World War II, many houses, particularly in the UK, had Anderson shelters constructed in their gardens. These were prefabricated, corrugated steel structures designed to provide protection from air raids and bombings. Additionally, some homes had Morrison shelters, which were indoor steel tables that could be used as makeshift bomb shelters, offering protection while allowing for use as furniture during non-emergency times.
