I thought this was an excellent video. I can't help but have a lot of respect and sympathy for these fellows.

I remember during the 1950s they would put soldiers in trenches to test the effects of radiation near the atomic bomb tests at Nevada Test Site. Also I remember them building a simulated town and having soldiers in the buildings. This was publicized on the radio and in the newspapers.
