Bert the Turtle appeared in filmstrips featuring a cheery little jingle called "Duck and Cover". The films suggested that it was possible to survive an atomic bomb simply by, well, ducking and covering the back of your neck with your head. This would do approximately nothing for people close to the blast, but they likely wouldn't have time to do it anyway, and against conventional explosives or at some distance from a nuclear blast, it would help mitigate the immediate effects.
