First in our new series, examining WHEN THE WIND BLOWS, four minutes at a time.
(Please excuse any snaps or clicks you might hear. It's my pup chewing. She's too young to be left unattended, or to sleep soundly whilst I'm recording. Some sounds have intruded, but I have tried to edit out the most obtrusive ones, and thrown some music down over the general snufflings.)

The Soviets tried to call the Baltic "the sea of peace" but Sweden had a few objections. Especially as any disruptions to the Baltic "peace" seemed to be coming from the Soviets, not the Swedes.
In this episode we look at how Sweden's position on the Baltic, uncomfortably close to the Soviet Union, drew her into the Cold War and nuclear tension even though she was a neutral state.

Looking at a Canadian civil defence magazine from the 1960s, called Survival.
Its main purpose was to overcome apathy amongst Canadians about nuclear war and civil defence, and it tried to do this with some humour!
