After strong denials from the government of the day, a nuclear bunker was broken into. The time was the 1960's, and it was a message from the people, for truthful leadership.

This period of history was unique, the world was quietly getting back on its feet after a world war. It was a world war that saw vast numbers of people killed, and the introduction of the atomic bomb. The importance of the atomic bomb, was when it was dropped, it did stop a world war.

During the war, the scientists were having their own race, to discover bigger and more powerful weapons. A lot was at stake, if this massive bomb could be discovered, the nation that discovered it would have world domination, over other countries. The Americans, were first to drop the bomb over Japan, and a whole city was wiped out. The war was over.

The aftermath of the war, brought about increased prosperity. Whole towns were rebuilt, and technology, took a leap forward. Families could buy items that were being mass produced. Every home had a bathroom, central heating, pine wardrobe in each bedroom. Despite the optimism, a new war in Asia was being fought.

This war started a student revolt against the war.

There was a denial though that nuclear bunkers for top people existed. The first one was leaked to the radicals, and broken into. It was a key moment, as it meant that the government was prepared for the public to die, and save it's own skin.

Photographs were taken as proof. These photos, show, not only an admin side , but also a relaxing or living area. This area was basic and simple, with lounge suites, and a farmhouse table eating purposes. The radicals who broke in , had to flee the country, and hide out with friends, around Europe. After a few years they managed to return to the country, and lay low. Their message for open government was heard.
