The Korean War was in full swing, and nuclear testing had begun. The 22nd Amendment got ratified, in February and the Rosenberg Trial was nearing its end, which triggered the Second Red Scare. My guess, though, is that the person was an elderly man or woman who endured the Great Depression, and had no trust for banks. So, he or she spent decades stashing away money every week, in case the bad times ever returned. However, because the United States after WWII enjoyed one of the longest economic booms in history, there was never any need to spend the stash.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
I think the odds are FAR FAR FAR greater that it was some criminal's stash and either accident, prison, or violence resulted in them not ever retrieving it.

Red Gate Woods, the final resting place of the world's first nuclear reactor. That's the one they built at Chicago.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
So it is against the law to detonate a nuclear weapon in Germany. You can get at least five years in jail for it. Or a fine.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Republican politicians claim that ads linking them to their own party's presidential nominee is defamation.
Just think about how bizarre that is.
