Jesus Christ, did they really develop an unguided air-to-air nuclear missile?

Yes, because they expected the blast radius to deal with the 'problem' of aiming the fool thang.

They also had a plan to deploy a kind of nuclear bazooka. I quote:
The Davy Crockett was developed in the late 1950s for use against Soviet troops had war broken out in Europe. Small teams of the Atomic Battle Group (charged with operating the device) would be stationed every few kilometers to guard against Soviet attack, using the power of their nuclear artillery to kill or incapacitate advancing troop formations and irradiate the area so that it was uninhabitable for up to 48 hours, long enough to mobilize NATO forces.

Wonder if they told the Germans about that one?

There was also a plan for nuclear mines every x km along likely invasion routes. The real genius of the plan was that in order to stop the fuses and triggers freezing in the European winter, live chicken would be put in cages next to the mines with enough food and water for a week, the chickens' body warmth would keep the mines warm.
