As far as I know for WWII in Europe - the rural areas, not only the damage from bombing wasn't that huge (well, what to bomb if there's no aim to find, really?), but also the supply situation in foods and that stuff. Back then, the countries were way more self-sufficient in their food supply. So, with less damage present, the people in the countryside at least could supply themselves with foods directly. Well, today nothing like a thinkable scneario... They all outsourced that except for profitable core businesses.
Well, if it is more comfortable to die from radiation and the type of damage a nuclear missle can cause or from starving dozens of kilometers underneath the surface of earth - I don't really want to judge this as both is horrible. First option is painful, very painful, but the other also must be characterized by feelings of constant powerlessness, and in the end it must be a really slow death. And if that does feel more comfortable than the other, I don't know... Saying, when the case of all cases really applies, you'll only be able to run away from your fate for some time, but you won't be able to avoid it ultimately. That fact you must be clear with in your head.
