There are laws in Switzerland stating that essentially every cirizen has to have a bunker close by. Thus many homes got a bunker. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/

  Historically that has been the case for for Sweden as well I think. Every older apartment building I've lived in (built before 1990-ish) has had bunkers in the basement, and usually it seems to be sized for more than just the buildings residents (although it is repurposed for storage these days). Thick steel doors and all the other tell-tales of old civilian bunkers. I'm guessing other European countries did this too.

  I visited a friend in Zurich recently who has such a bunker in their house. ( now a wine cellar) Surely this was before nukes? After reading “nuclear war: a scenario”, I’m really not sure there’s much use surviving the initial blast anyway.

    Non-nuclear invasions are still happening around the world.
