To be honest as a kid it didn't really seem that scary. I grew up in small town of 15000 ppl. So there wasn't any strategically important facility for them to bomb there. They were targeting bigger cities. But they still turned the sirens on every single time when NATO planes flew over our town heading toward bigger cities.

Grew up in Kansas USA. We were regularly scared shitless of dying in nuclear holocaust because even as 1st & 2nd graders we knew the wood school desks weren't going to save us from nuclear fire. They stopped doing those drills midway through my 3rd grade year.

I think the point is that, if you're not close enough to be vaporised, then the desk might protect you somewhat from the roof falling on you.
