Is there any way to correctly measure just how many people would've died in a full-scale nuclear war between NATO and the USSR/China and the height of the cold war? I know a lot of people automatically assume everyone would just die, but realistically that's not the case. Say in the first 100 days, how many people would likely have died? If all nukes were launched at the height of the Cold War?
I'd assume it'd be somewhere in the billions? Or would it only be in the 100's of millions?
This is also just the nuclear war. Not including the full-scale conventional war that would take place with Warsaw vs. NATO, after the bombs were dropped.

let´s just say central european culture would disappear

That could mean either 1962 (Cuban Missile Crisis) or 1983 (Able Archer 83, Stanislav Petrov Incident). Which are you more concerned with?
