The reason to climb under the desks was to provide some shielding from flying window glass and ceiling material. Personally, I would much rather be under a desk than on top of it in such a situation. I understand the reasoning, while understanding the futility.

The Cold War was a fun time. I vaguely remember as a child having to get under the desk at school for air raid drill, which later morphed into tornado drill. Was it you who showed me a map of all the bomb target areas within your vicinity? I don't recall, but the Nuke Map page allows people to calculate damage. The page doesn't factor in multiple warheads, which would be tend to target major cities especially those with military installations and / or major infrastructure.
At any rate, time for kaffee.
