Atomic Annie was delployed in Europe for a short time, but it took most of a day to deploy and because of the limited range (18 miles) had to be
deploy clost to the frontline. Apparently the Soviets always knew where they were so in the event of war it is unliklely they would have had time to
deploy and respond effectively to any invasion and if they did the Soviet would have probably taken them out with a pre-emptive air strike.

Even more scary was the man portable 'Davy Crockett' nuclear recoiless rifle (otherwise called the Nuclear Bazooka) that had a max range of 2.9
miles took less time to set-up but you have to dig a good fox hole as you were in the blast radius!!

Infanty squads actually carried out live fire excerises (firing a distance of 1.7 miles) with these in the 60's!!

One detail to avoid at all costs.
