0:50
Speaker 1: January nineteen forty four. This Simple Sabotage Field Manual Strategic
0:55
Speaker 1: Services Provisional is published for the information and guidance of
0:59
Speaker 1: all concerned and will be used as the basic doctrine
1:02
Speaker 1: for Strategic services training for this subject. The contents of
1:06
Speaker 1: this manual should be carefully controlled and should not be
1:08
Speaker 1: allowed to come into unauthorized hands. The instructions may be
1:13
Speaker 1: placed in separate pamphlets or leaflets according to categories of operations,
1:17
Speaker 1: but should be distributed with care and not broadly. They
1:21
Speaker 1: should be used as a basis of radio broadcast only
1:23
Speaker 1: for local and special cases and as directed by the
1:27
Speaker 1: theater commander. R Three eighty five pertaining to handling of
1:32
Speaker 1: secret documents will be complied with in the handling of
1:34
Speaker 1: this manual. William J. Donovan one introduction. The purpose of
1:42
Speaker 1: this paper is to characterize simple sabotage, to outline its
1:46
Speaker 1: possible effects, and to present suggestions for inciting and executing it.
1:51
Speaker 1: Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that
1:54
Speaker 1: require detailed planning and the use of specially trained operatives
1:58
Speaker 1: to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual citizen saboteur
2:02
Speaker 1: can perform. This paper is primarily concerned with the latter type.
2:07
Speaker 1: Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment.
2:12
Speaker 1: It is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or
2:14
Speaker 1: may not act individually and without the necessity for active
2:18
Speaker 1: connection with an organized group, and it is carried out
2:21
Speaker 1: in such a way as to involve a minimum danger
2:23
Speaker 1: of injury, detection, and reprisal. Where destruction is involved. The
2:28
Speaker 1: weapons of the citizen saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread,
2:33
Speaker 1: or any other materials he might normally be expected to
2:36
Speaker 1: possess as a householder or as a worker in his
2:38
Speaker 1: particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile,
2:44
Speaker 1: his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets
2:48
Speaker 1: of a sabotage are usually objects to which he has
2:50
Speaker 1: normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life. A second type
2:55
Speaker 1: of simple sabotage requires no destructive tools whatsoever, and produces
3:00
Speaker 1: physical damage, if any, by highly indirect means. It is
3:04
Speaker 1: based on universal opportunities to make faulty decisions, to adopt
3:08
Speaker 1: the non cooperative attitude, and to induce others to follow suit. Making.
3:13
Speaker 1: A faulty decision may be simply a matter of placing
3:16
Speaker 1: tools in one spot instead of another. A non cooperative
3:19
Speaker 1: attitude may involve nothing more than creating an unpleasant situation
3:23
Speaker 1: among one's fellow workers, engaging in bickerings, or displaying surliness
3:28
Speaker 1: and stupidity. This type of activity, sometimes referred to as
3:32
Speaker 1: the human element, is frequently responsible for accidence, delays, in
3:36
Speaker 1: general obstruction, even under normal conditions. The potential saboteur should
3:41
Speaker 1: discover what types of faulty decisions and the operations are
3:44
Speaker 1: normally found in this type of work, and then should
3:47
Speaker 1: devise his sabotage so as to enlarge that margin for error.
3:51
Speaker 1: Two possible effects acts of simple sabotage are occurring throughout europe.
3:58
Speaker 1: An effort should be made to add to their fefficiency,
4:00
Speaker 1: lessen their detectability, and increase their number. Acts of simple
4:05
Speaker 1: sabotage multiplied by thousands of citizen saboteurs can be an
4:09
Speaker 1: effective weapon against the enemy. Slashing tires, draining fuel tanks,
4:14
Speaker 1: starting fires, starting arguments, acting stupidly, short circuiting electric systems,
4:20
Speaker 1: abraiding machine parts will waste materials, manpower, and time. Occurring
4:25
Speaker 1: on a wide scale, simple sabotage will be a constant
4:28
Speaker 1: and tangible drag on the war effort of the enemy.
4:31
Speaker 1: Simple sabotage may also have secondary results of more or
4:35
Speaker 1: less value. Widespread practice of simple sabotage will harass and
4:39
Speaker 1: demoralized enemy administrators and police. Further success may embolden the
4:44
Speaker 1: citizen saboteur eventually to fine colleagues who can assist him
4:47
Speaker 1: in sabotage of greater dimensions. Finally, the very practice of
4:52
Speaker 1: simple sabotage by natives and enemy or occupied territory may
4:56
Speaker 1: make these individuals identify themselves actively with the United Nations
5:00
Speaker 1: war effort, and encourage them to assist openly in periods
5:03
Speaker 1: of Allied invasion and occupation. Three. Motivating the saboteur to
5:09
Speaker 1: incite citizens to the active practice of simple sabotage and
5:12
Speaker 1: to keep him practicing that sabotage over sustained periods is
5:16
Speaker 1: a special problem. Simple sabotage is often an act which
5:20
Speaker 1: the citizen performs according to his own initiative and inclination.
5:24
Speaker 1: Acts of destruction do not bring him any personal gain
5:27
Speaker 1: and may be completely foreign to his habitually conservationist attitude
5:30
Speaker 1: towards materials and tools. Purposeful stupidity is contrary to human nature.
5:36
Speaker 1: He frequently needs pressure, stimulation, or assurance, and information and
5:40
Speaker 1: suggestions regarding feasible methods of simple sabotage. One. Personal motives
5:47
Speaker 1: A The ordinary citizen very probably has no immediate personal
5:51
Speaker 1: motive for committing simple sabotage. Instead, he must be made
5:55
Speaker 1: to anticipate indirect personal gain, such as might come with
5:59
Speaker 1: enemy evacuation or destruction of the ruling government group. Gain
6:03
Speaker 1: should be stated as specifically as possible for the area addressed.
6:06
Speaker 1: Simple sabotage will hasten day when Commissioner X and his
6:09
Speaker 1: deputies Y and Z will be thrown out, when particularly
6:13
Speaker 1: obnoxious decrees and restrictions will be abolished, when food will arrive,
6:18
Speaker 1: and so on. Abstract verbalizations about personal liberty, freedom of
6:23
Speaker 1: the press, and so on will not be convincing in
6:25
Speaker 1: most parts of the world. In many areas, they will
6:29
Speaker 1: not even be comprehensible. B Since the effect of his
6:33
Speaker 1: own acts is limited, the saboteur may become discouraged unless
6:36
Speaker 1: he feels that he is a member of a large,
6:38
Speaker 1: though unseen group of saboteurs operating against the enemy or
6:41
Speaker 1: the government of his country and elsewhere. This can be
6:44
Speaker 1: conveyed indirectly. Suggestions which he reads and hears can include
6:48
Speaker 1: observations that a particular technique has been successful in this
6:52
Speaker 1: or that district, Even if the technique is not applicable
6:55
Speaker 1: to his surroundings. Another success will encourage him to attempt
6:59
Speaker 1: similar acts. It also can be conveyed directly. Statements praising
7:04
Speaker 1: the effectiveness of simple sabotage can be contrived, which will
7:07
Speaker 1: be published by white radio freedom stations and the subversive press.
7:12
Speaker 1: Estimates of the proportion of the population engaged in sabotage
7:15
Speaker 1: can be disseminated. Instances of successful sabotage already are being
7:19
Speaker 1: broadcast by white radio and freedom stations, and this should
7:23
Speaker 1: be continued and expanding where compatible with security. C More
7:28
Speaker 1: important than AARB would be to create a situation in
7:31
Speaker 1: which the citizen saboteur acquires a sense of responsibility and
7:34
Speaker 1: begins to educate others in simple sabotage two. Encouraging destructiveness.
7:41
Speaker 1: It should be pointed out to the saboteur, where the
7:44
Speaker 1: circumstances are suitable, that he is acting in self defense
7:47
Speaker 1: against the enemy, or retaliating against the enemy for other
7:50
Speaker 1: acts of destruction. A reasonable amount of humor in the
7:53
Speaker 1: presentation of suggestions for simple sabotage will relax tensions of fear.
7:58
Speaker 1: Aabataur may have to reverse his thinking, and he should
8:02
Speaker 1: be told this in so many words. Where he formally
8:05
Speaker 1: thought of keeping his tools sharp, he should now let
8:07
Speaker 1: them grow dull. Surfaces that formerly were lubricated should now
8:11
Speaker 1: be sanded normally diligent, he should now be lazy and careless,
8:16
Speaker 1: and so on. Once he is encouraged to think backwards
8:20
Speaker 1: about himself and the objects of his everyday life. The
8:22
Speaker 1: saboteur will see many opportunities in his immediate environment which
8:26
Speaker 1: cannot possibly be seen from a distance. A state of
8:29
Speaker 1: mind should be encouraged that anything can be sabotaged. B.
8:34
Speaker 1: Among the potential citizen saboteurs who are to engage in
8:37
Speaker 1: physical destruction, two extreme types may be distinguished. On the
8:41
Speaker 1: one hand, there is a man who is not technically
8:44
Speaker 1: trained and employed. This man needs specific suggestions as to
8:48
Speaker 1: what he can and should destroy, as well as details
8:51
Speaker 1: regarding the tools by means of which destruction is accomplished.
8:55
Speaker 1: C At the other extreme is a man who is
8:57
Speaker 1: a technician, such as a lathe operator or an automobile mechanic. Presumably,
9:03
Speaker 1: this man would be able to devise methods of simple
9:05
Speaker 1: sabotage which would be appropriate to his own facilities. However,
9:09
Speaker 1: this man needs to be stimulated to reorient his thinking
9:12
Speaker 1: in the direction of destruction. Specific examples which need not
9:16
Speaker 1: be from his own field should accomplish this d Various
9:22
Speaker 1: media may be used to disseminate suggestions in information regarding
9:25
Speaker 1: simple sabotage. Among the media which may be used as
9:29
Speaker 1: the immediate situation dictates are freedom, stations are radiofoss broadcast
9:34
Speaker 1: or Leaflets may be directed towards specific geographic or occupational areas,
9:39
Speaker 1: or they may be general in scope. Finally, agents may
9:43
Speaker 1: be trained in the art of simple sabotage in anticipation
9:46
Speaker 1: of a time when they may be able to communicate
9:48
Speaker 1: this information directly. Three safety measures. A. The amount of
9:55
Speaker 1: activity carried on by the saboteur will be governed not
9:57
Speaker 1: only by the number of opportunities he sees, but also
10:01
Speaker 1: by the amount of danger he feels. Bad news travels fast,
10:05
Speaker 1: and simple sabotage will be discouraged if too many simple
10:08
Speaker 1: saboteurs are arrested. B It should not be difficult to
10:13
Speaker 1: prepare leaflets and other media for the saboteur about the
10:16
Speaker 1: choice of weapons, times, and targets which will ensure the
10:19
Speaker 1: saboteur against detection and retaliation. Among such suggestions might be
10:24
Speaker 1: the following one. Use materials which appear to be innocent.
10:29
Speaker 1: A knife or nail fil can be carried normally on
10:31
Speaker 1: your person. Either is a multipurpose instrument for creating damage. Matches, pebbles, hair, salt, nails,
10:40
Speaker 1: and dozens of other destructive agents can be carried or
10:42
Speaker 1: kept in your living quarters without exciting any suspicion whatever.
10:47
Speaker 1: If you are a worker in a particular trade or industry,
10:50
Speaker 1: you can easily carry and keep such things as wrenches, hammers, emery, paper,
10:54
Speaker 1: and the like. Two. Try to commit acts for which
10:58
Speaker 1: large numbers of people could be responsible. For instance, if
11:01
Speaker 1: you blow out the wiring in a factory at a
11:03
Speaker 1: central firebox, almost anyone could have done it on the street.
11:08
Speaker 1: Sabotage after dark, such as you might be able to
11:10
Speaker 1: carry out against a military car or truck, is another
11:13
Speaker 1: example of an act for which it would be impossible
11:15
Speaker 1: to blame you. Three, do not be afraid to commit
11:19
Speaker 1: acts for which you might be blamed directly, so long
11:22
Speaker 1: as you do so rarely, and as long as you
11:24
Speaker 1: have a plausible excuse. You dropped your wrench across an
11:28
Speaker 1: electric circuit because an air raid had kept you up
11:30
Speaker 1: the night before and you were half dozing at work.
11:33
Speaker 1: Always be profuse in your apologies. Frequently you can get
11:37
Speaker 1: away with such acts under the cover of pretending stupidity,
11:40
Speaker 1: ignorance overcaution, fear of being suspected of sabotage, or weakness
11:45
Speaker 1: or dulness due to under nourishment. Four. After you have
11:49
Speaker 1: committed an act of easy sabotage, resist any temptation to
11:53
Speaker 1: wait around and see what happens loiterers aroused suspicion. Of course,
11:58
Speaker 1: there are circumstances when it would be suspicious for you
12:01
Speaker 1: to leave. If you commit sabotage on your job, you
12:04
Speaker 1: should naturally stay at your work. Four tools, targets, and timing.
12:10
Speaker 1: The citizen saboteur cannot be closely controlled, nor is it
12:14
Speaker 1: reasonable to expect that simple sabotage can be precisely concentrated
12:18
Speaker 1: on specific types of target according to the requirements of
12:20
Speaker 1: a concrete military situation. Attempts to control simple sabotage according
12:25
Speaker 1: to developing military factors, moreover, might provide the enemy with
12:29
Speaker 1: intelligence of more or less value in anticipating the date
12:32
Speaker 1: and area of notably intensified or notably slackened military activity.
12:37
Speaker 1: Sabotage suggestions, of course, should be adapted to fit the
12:40
Speaker 1: area where they are to be practiced. Target priorities for
12:44
Speaker 1: general types of situations likewise, can be specified for emphasis
12:48
Speaker 1: at the proper time by the underground press, freedom stations
12:51
Speaker 1: and cooperating propaganda. One. Under general conditions, a simple sabotage
12:58
Speaker 1: is more than malicious mischief, and it should always consist
13:01
Speaker 1: of acts whose results will be detrimental to the materials
13:04
Speaker 1: and man power of the enemy. B. The saboteur should
13:08
Speaker 1: be ingenious in using his every day equipment. All sorts
13:11
Speaker 1: of weapons will present themselves if he looks at his
13:13
Speaker 1: surroundings in a different light. For example, emery dust at
13:17
Speaker 1: first may seem unattainable, but if the saboteur were to
13:20
Speaker 1: pulverize an Emory Knight sharpener or Emery wheel with a hammer,
13:24
Speaker 1: he would find himself with a plentiful supply. C. The
13:28
Speaker 1: saboteur should never attack targets beyond his capacity or the
13:31
Speaker 1: capacity of his instruments. An inexperienced person should not, for example,
13:35
Speaker 1: attempt to use explosives, but should confine himself to the
13:39
Speaker 1: use of matches or other familiar weapons. D. The saboteurs
13:43
Speaker 1: should try to damage only objects and materials known to
13:46
Speaker 1: be in use by the enemy or to be destined
13:48
Speaker 1: for early use by the enemy. It will be safe
13:51
Speaker 1: for him to assume that almost any product of heavy
13:53
Speaker 1: industry is destined for enemy use, and that the most
13:56
Speaker 1: efficient fuels and lubricants also are destined for enemy use.
14:00
Speaker 1: Without special knowledge, however, it would be undesirable for him
14:03
Speaker 1: to attempt destruction of food crops or food products. E.
14:07
Speaker 1: Although the citizen saboteur may rarely have access to military objects,
14:11
Speaker 1: he should give these preference above all others. Two. Prior
14:16
Speaker 1: to a military offensive, during periods which are quiescent in
14:20
Speaker 1: a military sense, such emphasis as can be given to
14:23
Speaker 1: simple sabotage might well center on industrial production. To lessen
14:27
Speaker 1: the flow of materials and equipment to the enemy, Slashing
14:30
Speaker 1: a rubber tire on an army truck may be an
14:32
Speaker 1: active value. Spoiling a batch of rubber in the production
14:36
Speaker 1: plant is an act of still more value. Three. During
14:40
Speaker 1: a military offensive, a most significant sabotage for an area
14:45
Speaker 1: which is or as soon destined to be a theater
14:48
Speaker 1: of combat operations is that whose effects will be direct
14:51
Speaker 1: and immediate, even if the effects are relatively minor and localized.
14:56
Speaker 1: This type of sabotage is to be preferred to activities whose, effects,
15:00
Speaker 1: while widespread, are indirect and delayed. One. The saboteur should
15:05
Speaker 1: be encouraged to attack transportation facilities of all kinds. Among
15:09
Speaker 1: such facilities are roads, railroads, automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, trains,
15:15
Speaker 1: and trams. Two. Any communication facilities which can be used
15:19
Speaker 1: by the authorities to transmit instructions or morale material should
15:23
Speaker 1: be the objects of simple sabotage. These include telephone, telegraph
15:27
Speaker 1: and power systems, radio, newspapers, placards, and public notices. Three.
15:34
Speaker 1: Critical materials valuable in themselves are necessary to the efficient
15:38
Speaker 1: functioning of transportation and communications also should become targets for
15:42
Speaker 1: the citizen saboteur. These may include oil, gasoline, tires, food
15:47
Speaker 1: and water. End of section one. Section two of Simple

16:08
Speaker 1: Simple Sabotage Field Manual by United States Office of Strategic Services.
16:13
Speaker 1: Section two five Specific suggestions for simple sabotage. It will
16:22
Speaker 1: not be possible to evaluate the desirability of simple sabotage
16:25
Speaker 1: in an area without having in mind, rather specifically, what
16:28
Speaker 1: individual acts and results are embraced by the definition of
16:31
Speaker 1: simple sabotage. A listing of specific acts follows, classified according
16:36
Speaker 1: to types of target. This list is presented as a
16:40
Speaker 1: growing rather than a complete outline of the methods of
16:42
Speaker 1: simple sabotage. As new techniques are developed or new fields explored,
16:47
Speaker 1: it will be elaborated and expanded. One. Buildings, warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels,
16:56
Speaker 1: and factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage. They
17:01
Speaker 1: are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire. They offer
17:05
Speaker 1: opportunities to such untrained people as janitors, charwoman and casual visitors,
17:10
Speaker 1: and when damaged, they present a relatively large handicap to
17:13
Speaker 1: the enemy. A Fires can be started wherever there is
17:17
Speaker 1: an accumulation of inflammable material. Warehouses are obviously the most
17:22
Speaker 1: promising targets, but incendiary sabotage need not be confined to
17:25
Speaker 1: them alone. One, whenever possible, arrange to have the fire
17:30
Speaker 1: start after you have gone away. Use a candle in
17:33
Speaker 1: paper combination, setting it as close as possible to the
17:37
Speaker 1: inflammable material you want to burn. From a sheet of paper,
17:40
Speaker 1: tear a strip three or four centimeters wide and wrap
17:43
Speaker 1: it around the base of the candle. Two or three times,
17:47
Speaker 1: Twist more sheets of paper into loose ropes and place
17:49
Speaker 1: them around the base of the candle. When the candle
17:52
Speaker 1: flame reaches the encircling strip, It will be ignited and
17:55
Speaker 1: in turn will ignite the surrounding paper. The size, heat,
17:58
Speaker 1: and duration of the resulting flour will depend on how
18:01
Speaker 1: much paper you use and how much of it you
18:03
Speaker 1: can cram into a small space. Two. With a flame
18:07
Speaker 1: of this kind, do not attempt to ignite any but
18:10
Speaker 1: rather inflammable materials, such as cotton sacking. To light more
18:14
Speaker 1: resistant materials, use a candle plus tightly rolled or twisted
18:18
Speaker 1: paper which has been soaked in gasoline. To create a
18:22
Speaker 1: briefer but even hotter flame, Put celluloid, such as you
18:25
Speaker 1: might find in an old comb, into a nest of
18:28
Speaker 1: plain or saturated paper, which is to be fired by
18:30
Speaker 1: a candle. Three. To make another type of simple fuse,
18:35
Speaker 1: soak one end of a piece of string in grease.
18:38
Speaker 1: Rub a generous pinch of gunpowder over the inch of
18:40
Speaker 1: string where greasy string meets clean string. Then ignite the
18:44
Speaker 1: clean end of the string. It will burn slowly without
18:47
Speaker 1: a flame, in much the same way that a cigarette
18:50
Speaker 1: burns until it reaches the grease and gunpowder. It will
18:54
Speaker 1: then flare up suddenly. The grease treated string will then
18:57
Speaker 1: burn with a flame. The same effect may be achieved
19:01
Speaker 1: by using matches instead of the grease and gunpowder. Run
19:04
Speaker 1: the string over the matchheads, taking care that the string
19:07
Speaker 1: is not pressed or knotted. They too will produce a
19:10
Speaker 1: sudden flame. The advantage of this type of fuse is
19:13
Speaker 1: that the string burns at a set speed. You can
19:16
Speaker 1: time your flame by the length and thickness of the
19:18
Speaker 1: string you choose. Four. Use a fuse such as the
19:23
Speaker 1: one suggested above to start a fire in an office
19:25
Speaker 1: after hours. The destruction of records and other types of
19:29
Speaker 1: documents would be a serious handicap to the enemy. Five.
19:33
Speaker 1: In basements where waste is kept, janitors should accumulate oily
19:36
Speaker 1: and greasy waste. Such waste sometimes ignites spontaneously, but it
19:41
Speaker 1: can easily be lit with a cigarette or match. If
19:44
Speaker 1: you are a janitor on night duty, you can be
19:47
Speaker 1: the first to report the fire, but don't report it
19:50
Speaker 1: too soon. Six. A clean factory is not susceptible to fire,
19:55
Speaker 1: but a dirty one is. Workers should be careless with
19:58
Speaker 1: refuse and or should be inefficient in cleaning. If enough
20:02
Speaker 1: dirt and trash can be accumulated, then otherwise fireproof building
20:06
Speaker 1: will become inflammable. Seven. Where illuminating gas is used in
20:10
Speaker 1: a room which is vacant at night, shut the windows tightly,
20:13
Speaker 1: turn on the gas, and leave a candle burning in
20:16
Speaker 1: the room, closing the door tightly behind you. After a time,
20:20
Speaker 1: the gas will explode and a fire may or may
20:23
Speaker 1: not follow. B water and miscellaneous. One ruin warehouse stock
20:31
Speaker 1: by setting the automatic sprinkler system to work. You can
20:34
Speaker 1: do this by tapping the sprinkler head sharply with a
20:36
Speaker 1: hammer or by holding a match under them. Two forget
20:40
Speaker 1: to provide paper in toilets. Put tightly rolled paper, hair
20:44
Speaker 1: and other obstructions in the WC. Saturate a sponge with
20:48
Speaker 1: a thick starch or sugar solution, squeeze it tightly into
20:52
Speaker 1: a ball, wrap it with string, and dry. Remove the string.
20:56
Speaker 1: When fully dried, the sponge will be in the form
20:59
Speaker 1: of a tight heart ball. Flush down a WC or
21:03
Speaker 1: otherwise introduce into a sewer line. The sponge will gradually
21:06
Speaker 1: expand to its normal size and plug the sewage system. Three.
21:11
Speaker 1: Put a coin beneath a bulb and a public building
21:14
Speaker 1: during the daytime so that the fuses will blow out
21:16
Speaker 1: when the lights are turned on at night. The fuses
21:19
Speaker 1: themselves may be rendered ineffective by putting a coin behind
21:22
Speaker 1: them or loading them with heavy wire. Then a short
21:26
Speaker 1: circuit may either start a fire, damage transformers, or blow
21:30
Speaker 1: out a central fuse, which will interrupt distribution of electricity
21:33
Speaker 1: to a large area. Four Jam paper, bits of wood,
21:38
Speaker 1: hair pins, and anything else that will fit into the
21:41
Speaker 1: locks of all unguarded entrances to public buildings. Two industrial
21:46
Speaker 1: production manufacturing a tools. One Let cutting tools grow dull.
21:53
Speaker 1: They will be inefficient, will slow down production, and may
21:56
Speaker 1: damage the materials in parch you use them on. Two
22:00
Speaker 1: Leave saws slightly twisted when you are not using them
22:03
Speaker 1: after a while. They will break when used. Three Using
22:07
Speaker 1: a very rapid stroke will wear out a file before
22:10
Speaker 1: its time. So while dragging a file in slow strokes
22:13
Speaker 1: under heavy pressure, exert pressure on the backward stroke as
22:17
Speaker 1: well as the forward stroke. Four clean files by knocking
22:21
Speaker 1: them against the vice or the workpiece. They are easily
22:23
Speaker 1: broken this way. Five bits and drills will snap under
22:27
Speaker 1: heavy pressure. Six You can put a press punch out
22:31
Speaker 1: of order by putting in it more material than it
22:33
Speaker 1: is adjusted for two blanks instead of one, for example. Seven.
22:38
Speaker 1: Power driven tools like pneumatic drills, riveters, and so on
22:42
Speaker 1: are never efficient. When dirty. Lubrication points in electric contacts
22:46
Speaker 1: can easily be fouled by normal accumulation of dirt or
22:49
Speaker 1: the insertion of foreign matter. B Oil and lubrication systems
22:54
Speaker 1: are not only vulnerable to easy sabotage, but are critical
22:57
Speaker 1: in every machine with moving parts. Sabotage of oil and
23:01
Speaker 1: lubrication will slow production or stop work entirely at strategic
23:04
Speaker 1: points in industrial processes. One put metal dust or filings,
23:10
Speaker 1: fine sand, ground glass, emery dust. Get it by pounding
23:14
Speaker 1: up an emery knife, sharpener, and similar hard, gritty substances
23:18
Speaker 1: directly into lubrication systems. They will scour smooth surfaces, ruining pistons,
23:24
Speaker 1: cylinder walls, shafts, and bearings. They will overheat and stop motors,
23:28
Speaker 1: which will need overhauling, new parts and extensive repairs. Such materials,
23:33
Speaker 1: if they are used, should be introduced into lubrication systems
23:36
Speaker 1: past any filters which otherwise would strain them out. Two.
23:41
Speaker 1: You can cause wear on any machine by uncovering a
23:43
Speaker 1: filter system, poking a pencil or any other sharp object
23:47
Speaker 1: through the filter mesh, then covering it up again, or
23:51
Speaker 1: you can dispose of it quickly simply remove the filter. Three.
23:56
Speaker 1: If you cannot get it the lubrication system or filtered directly.
23:59
Speaker 1: You may be able to lessen the effectiveness of oil
24:02
Speaker 1: by diluting it in storage. In this case, almost any
24:05
Speaker 1: liquid will do, which will thin the oil. A small
24:09
Speaker 1: amount of sulfuric acid, varnish, water, glass, or linseed oil
24:13
Speaker 1: will be especially effective. Four. Using a thin oil where
24:17
Speaker 1: a heavy oil is prescribed will break down a machine
24:20
Speaker 1: or heat up a moving shaft so that it will
24:22
Speaker 1: freeze and stop. Five. Put any clogging substance into lubrication systems,
24:28
Speaker 1: or if it will float, into stored oil. Twisted combings
24:32
Speaker 1: of human hair, pieces of string, dead insects, and many
24:36
Speaker 1: other common objects will be effective in stopping or hindering
24:39
Speaker 1: the flow of oil through feed lines and filters. Six.
24:44
Speaker 1: Under some circumstances, you may be able to destroy oil
24:47
Speaker 1: outright rather than interfere with its effectiveness, by removing stop
24:51
Speaker 1: plugs from lubricating systems, or by puncturing the drums and
24:54
Speaker 1: cans in which it is stored. See cooling systems one.
25:00
Speaker 1: A water cooling system can be put out of commission
25:02
Speaker 1: in a fairly short time with considerable damage to an
25:05
Speaker 1: engine or motor. If you put into it several pinches
25:08
Speaker 1: of hard grain such as rice or wheat. They will
25:12
Speaker 1: swell up and choke the circulation of water and the
25:14
Speaker 1: cooling system will have to be torn down to remove
25:17
Speaker 1: the obstruction. Sawdust or hair may also be used to
25:20
Speaker 1: clog a water cooling system. Two. If very cold water
25:25
Speaker 1: is quickly introduced into the cooling system of an overheated motor,
25:28
Speaker 1: contraction and considerable strain on the engine housing will result.
25:32
Speaker 1: If you can repeat the treatment a few times, cracking
25:35
Speaker 1: in serious damage will result. Three. You can ruin the
25:39
Speaker 1: effectiveness of an air cooling system by plugging dirt and
25:42
Speaker 1: waste into the intake or exhaust valves. If a belt
25:45
Speaker 1: run fan is used in the system, make a jagged
25:48
Speaker 1: cut at least half way through the belt. It will
25:51
Speaker 1: slip and finally part under strain, and the motor will overheat.
25:56
Speaker 1: D Gasoline and oil fuel tanks and fueling engines usually
25:59
Speaker 1: are excessed and easy to open. They afford a very
26:02
Speaker 1: vulnerable target for simple sabotage activities. One. Put several pinches
26:07
Speaker 1: of sawdust or hard grain such as rice or wheat
26:10
Speaker 1: into the fuel tank of a gasoline engine. The particles
26:14
Speaker 1: will choke a feed line so that the engine will stop.
26:17
Speaker 1: Some time will be required to discover the source of
26:19
Speaker 1: the trouble, although they will be hard to get. Crumbs
26:22
Speaker 1: of natural rubber, such as you might find in old
26:25
Speaker 1: rubber bands and pencil erasers are also effective. Two. If
26:30
Speaker 1: you can accumulate sugar, put it in the fuel tank
26:32
Speaker 1: of a gasoline engine. As it burns together with the gasoline,
26:36
Speaker 1: it will turn into a sticky mess, which will completely
26:39
Speaker 1: mire the engine and necessitate extensive cleaning and repair. Honey
26:43
Speaker 1: and molasses are as good as sugar. Try to use
26:46
Speaker 1: about seventy five to one hundred grams for each ten
26:49
Speaker 1: gallons of gasoline. Three Other impurities which you can introduce
26:53
Speaker 1: into gasoline will cause rapid engine were an eventual breakdown.
26:57
Speaker 1: Find particles of pumice, sand, ground glass, and metal dust
27:02
Speaker 1: can easily be introduced into a gasoline tank. Be sure
27:06
Speaker 1: that the particles are very fine so that they will
27:08
Speaker 1: be able to pass through the carburetor. Jet Four Water, urine, wine,
27:14
Speaker 1: or any other simple liquid which you can get in
27:16
Speaker 1: reasonably large quantities will dilute gasoline fuel to a point
27:20
Speaker 1: where no combustion will occur in the cylinder and the
27:22
Speaker 1: engine will not move. One pint to twenty gallons of
27:26
Speaker 1: gasoline is sufficient. If salt water is used, it will
27:29
Speaker 1: cause corrosion and permanent motor damage. Five. In the case
27:34
Speaker 1: of diesel engines, put low flash point oil into the
27:37
Speaker 1: fuel tank. The engine will not move if there are
27:40
Speaker 1: already is proper oil in the tank. When the wrong
27:42
Speaker 1: kind is added, the engine will only limp and sputter along. Six.
27:48
Speaker 1: Fuel lines to gasoline and oil engines frequently pass over
27:51
Speaker 1: the exhaust pipe. When the machine is at rest, You
27:54
Speaker 1: can stab a small hole in the fuel line and
27:56
Speaker 1: plug the hole with wax. As the engine runs in
27:59
Speaker 1: the ar exhaust tube becomes hot, the wax will be melted,
28:03
Speaker 1: fuel will drip onto the exhaust, and a blaze will start. Seven.
28:08
Speaker 1: If you have access to a room where gasoline is stored,
28:11
Speaker 1: remember that gas vapor accumulating in a closed room will
28:13
Speaker 1: explode after a time if you leave a candle burning
28:16
Speaker 1: in the room. A good deal of evaporation, however, must
28:19
Speaker 1: occur from the gasoline tins into the air of the room.
28:23
Speaker 1: If removal of the tops of the tins does not
28:25
Speaker 1: expose enough gasoline to the air to ensure copious evaporation.
28:29
Speaker 1: You can open lightly constructed tents further with a knife,
28:32
Speaker 1: ice pick, or sharpened nail file, or puncture a tiny
28:36
Speaker 1: hole in the tank which will permit gasoline to leak
28:38
Speaker 1: out on the floor. This will greatly increase the rate
28:41
Speaker 1: of evaporation. Before you light your candle, be sure that
28:45
Speaker 1: windows are closed and that the room is as air
28:47
Speaker 1: tight as you can make it. If you can see
28:50
Speaker 1: that windows in a neighboring room are open wide, you
28:52
Speaker 1: have a chance of setting a large fire which will
28:55
Speaker 1: not only destroy the gasoline, but anything else nearby. When
28:59
Speaker 1: the gas basolene explodes, the doors of the storage room
29:02
Speaker 1: will be blown open, a draft to the neighboring windows
29:05
Speaker 1: will be created, which will whip up a fine conflagration. E.
29:10
Speaker 1: Electric motors. Electric motors, including dynamos, are more restricted than
29:15
Speaker 1: the target so far discussed. They cannot be sabotaged easily
29:19
Speaker 1: or without risk of injury by unskilled persons who may
29:22
Speaker 1: otherwise have good opportunities for destruction. One set the rheostat
29:27
Speaker 1: to a high point of resistance. In all types of
29:29
Speaker 1: electric motors, they will overheat and catch fire. Two adjust
29:34
Speaker 1: the overload relay to a very high value beyond the
29:37
Speaker 1: capacity of the motor. Then overload the motor to a
29:39
Speaker 1: point where it will overheat and break down. Three. Remember
29:44
Speaker 1: that dust, dirt, and moisture are enemies of electrical equipment.
29:48
Speaker 1: Spill dust and dirt onto the points where the wires
29:50
Speaker 1: and electric motors connect with terminals and onto insulating parts.
29:55
Speaker 1: Inefficient transmission of current and in some cases short circuits
29:58
Speaker 1: will result. Let generator motors to produce short circuits. Four.
30:04
Speaker 1: Accidentally bruise the insulation on wire. Loosen nuts on connections,
30:08
Speaker 1: make faulty splices and faulty connections in wiring to waste
30:12
Speaker 1: electric current and reduce the power of electric motors the
30:15
Speaker 1: power output, or cause short circuiting in direct current motors.
30:19
Speaker 1: Loosen or remove commutator holding rings. Sprinkle carbon, graphite or
30:24
Speaker 1: metal dust on commutators. Put a little grease or oil
30:28
Speaker 1: at the contact points of commutators. Where commutator bars are
30:31
Speaker 1: close together, bridge the gaps between them with metal dust
30:35
Speaker 1: or saw tooth their edges with a chisel so that
30:37
Speaker 1: the teeth on adjoining bars meat or nearly meat, and
30:40
Speaker 1: current can pass from one to the other. Six. Put
30:44
Speaker 1: a piece of finely grained emery paper half the size
30:47
Speaker 1: of a postage stamp in a place where we'll wear
30:49
Speaker 1: away rotating brushes, The emery paper and the motor will
30:52
Speaker 1: be destroyed in the resulting fire. Seven. Sprinkle carbon, graphite
30:57
Speaker 1: or metal dust on slip rings so the current will
31:00
Speaker 1: leak or short circuits will occur when a motor is idle.
31:03
Speaker 1: Knick the slip rings with a chisel. Eight Cause motor
31:07
Speaker 1: stop as your inefficiency by applying dust mixed with grease
31:10
Speaker 1: to the face of the armature so that it will
31:12
Speaker 1: not make proper contact. Nine to overheat electric motors, mix
31:18
Speaker 1: sand with heavy grease and smear it between the stater
31:20
Speaker 1: and rotor. Or wedge thin metal pieces between them. To
31:24
Speaker 1: prevent the efficient generation of current, put floor sweepings, oil tar,
31:28
Speaker 1: or paint between them. Ten. In motors using three phase current,
31:32
Speaker 1: deeply nick one of the lead in wires with a
31:34
Speaker 1: knife or file when the machine is at rest, or
31:37
Speaker 1: replace one of the three fuses with a blown out fuse.
31:40
Speaker 1: In the first case, the motor will stop after running
31:43
Speaker 1: a while, and in the second it will not start.
31:46
Speaker 1: F transformers one transformers of the oil filled type can
31:51
Speaker 1: be put out of commission if you pour water salt
31:53
Speaker 1: into the oil tank. Two. In air cool transformers, block
31:58
Speaker 1: the ventilation by piling debris around the transformer. Three. In
32:02
Speaker 1: all types of transformers, throw carbon, graphite or metal dust
32:05
Speaker 1: over the outside bushings and other exposed electrical parts. G turbines,
32:11
Speaker 1: for the most part, are heavily built, stoutly housed, and
32:14
Speaker 1: difficult to access. Their vulnerability to simple sabotage is very low. One.
32:20
Speaker 1: After inspecting or repairing a hydro turbine, fasten the cover
32:24
Speaker 1: insecurely so that it will blow off and flood the
32:26
Speaker 1: plant with water. A loose cover on a steam turbine
32:30
Speaker 1: will cause it to leak and slow down. Two. In
32:34
Speaker 1: water turbines, insert a large piece of scrap iron in
32:36
Speaker 1: the head of the penstock just beyond the screening, so
32:39
Speaker 1: that water will carry the damaging material down to the
32:42
Speaker 1: plant equipment. Three. When the steam line to a turbine
32:46
Speaker 1: is open for repair, put pieces of scrap iron into
32:49
Speaker 1: it to be blasted into the turbine machinery when the
32:51
Speaker 1: steam is up again. Four, create a leak in the
32:55
Speaker 1: line feeding oil to the turbine, so that oil will
32:58
Speaker 1: fall on the hot steam pipe and cause a fire.
33:01
Speaker 1: H boilers one reduce the efficiency of steam boilers any way.
33:06
Speaker 1: You can put too much water in them to make
33:09
Speaker 1: them slow starting, or keep the fire under them low
33:11
Speaker 1: to keep them inefficient. Let them run dry and turn
33:14
Speaker 1: the fire up. They will crack and be ruined. An
33:18
Speaker 1: especially good trick is to keep putting limestone or water
33:20
Speaker 1: containing lime in the boiler. It will deposit lime on
33:23
Speaker 1: the bottom and sides. This deposit will provide very good
33:27
Speaker 1: insulation against heat. After enough of it has collected, the
33:31
Speaker 1: boiler will be completely worthless. Three production metals a iron
33:38
Speaker 1: and steel. One keep blast furnaces in a condition where
33:42
Speaker 1: they must be frequently shut down for a pair. In
33:45
Speaker 1: making fireproof bricks for the inner lining of blast furnaces,
33:48
Speaker 1: put in an extra proportion of tar so that they
33:51
Speaker 1: will wear out quickly and necessitate constant relining. Two. Make
33:55
Speaker 1: cores for casting so that they are filled with air
33:57
Speaker 1: bubbles and an imperfect cast results. Three. See that the
34:01
Speaker 1: core in a mold is not properly supported, so that
34:04
Speaker 1: the core gives way or the casting is spoiled because
34:06
Speaker 1: of the incorrect position of the core. Four. In tempering
34:10
Speaker 1: steel or iron, apply too much heat so that the
34:13
Speaker 1: resulting bars and ingots are of poor quality. B other metals.
34:18
Speaker 1: No suggestions available. Four Production mining and mineral extraction a
34:26
Speaker 1: coal One. A slight blow against your davy oil lamp
34:30
Speaker 1: will extinguish it, and to light it again you will
34:33
Speaker 1: have to find the place where there is no fire damp.
34:36
Speaker 1: Take a long time looking for a place. Two. Blacksmiths
34:40
Speaker 1: who make pneumatic picks should not harden them properly, so
34:43
Speaker 1: that they will quickly grow dull. Three You can easily
34:47
Speaker 1: put your pneumatic pick out of order. Pour a small
34:50
Speaker 1: amount of water through the oil lever, and your pick
34:52
Speaker 1: will stop working. Coal dust and improper lubrication will also
34:55
Speaker 1: put it out of order. Four weaken the chain that
34:59
Speaker 1: pulls the buck conveyors carrying coal. A deep den in
35:02
Speaker 1: the chain made with blows of a pick or shovel
35:04
Speaker 1: will cause it to part under normal strain. Once a
35:07
Speaker 1: chain breaks normally or otherwise, take your time about reporting
35:10
Speaker 1: the damage. Be slow about taking the chain up for
35:13
Speaker 1: repairs and bringing it back down after repairs. Five. Derail
35:18
Speaker 1: mine cars by putting obstructions on the rails and in
35:21
Speaker 1: switch points. If possible, pick a gallery where coal cars
35:25
Speaker 1: have to pass each other, so that traffic will be
35:27
Speaker 1: snarled up. Six send up quantities of rock and other
35:31
Speaker 1: useless material with the coal. Five Production agriculture A machinery
35:40
Speaker 1: one see paragraph five B, two, C, D, e B.
35:46
Speaker 1: Crops in livestock probably will be destroyed only in places
35:49
Speaker 1: where there are large food surpluses or where the enemy
35:52
Speaker 1: regime is known to be requisitioning food. One fee crops
35:56
Speaker 1: to livestock, let crops harvest two early or two late.
36:01
Speaker 1: Spoil stores of grain, fruit and vegetables by soaking them
36:04
Speaker 1: in water so that they will rot. Spoil fruit and
36:07
Speaker 1: vegetables by leaving them in the sun. Six Transportation railways
36:13
Speaker 1: A passengers one. Make train travel as inconvenient as possible
36:18
Speaker 1: for enemy personnel. Make mistakes in issuing train tickets, leaving
36:22
Speaker 1: portions of the journey uncovered by the ticket book. Issue
36:26
Speaker 1: two tickets for the same seat in the train, so
36:28
Speaker 1: that an interesting argument will result near train time. Instead
36:32
Speaker 1: of issuing printed tickets, write them out slowly by hand,
36:35
Speaker 1: prolonging the process until a train is nearly ready to
36:38
Speaker 1: leave or has left the station. On station bulletin boards
36:42
Speaker 1: announcing train arrivals and departures, see that false and misleading
36:45
Speaker 1: information is given about trained bounds for enemy destinations. Two.
36:50
Speaker 1: In trains bound for enemy destinations, attendant should make life
36:53
Speaker 1: as uncomfortable as possible for passengers. See that the food
36:57
Speaker 1: is especially bad. Take up tickets after midnightight call all
37:01
Speaker 1: station stops very loudly during the night. Handle baggage as
37:04
Speaker 1: noisily as possible during the night, and so on. Three.
37:09
Speaker 1: See that the luggage of enemy personnel is mislaid or
37:11
Speaker 1: unloaded at the wrong stations. Switch address labels on enemy baggage. Four.
37:18
Speaker 1: Engineers should see that trains run slow or make unscheduled
37:21
Speaker 1: stops for plausible reasons. B switches signals in routing. One
37:28
Speaker 1: exchange wires and switchboards containing signals and switches so that
37:32
Speaker 1: they connect to the wrong terminals. Two loosen push rods
37:36
Speaker 1: so that signal arms do not work. Break signal lights.
37:40
Speaker 1: Exchange the colored lenses on red and green lights. Three
37:44
Speaker 1: spread and spikes switch points in the track so that
37:47
Speaker 1: they will not move or place rocks or close packed
37:49
Speaker 1: dirt between the switch points. Four. Sprinkle rock salt or
37:54
Speaker 1: ordinary salt profusely over the electrical connections of switch points
37:57
Speaker 1: and on the ground nearby. When it rains, the switch
38:01
Speaker 1: will be short circuited. Five. See that cars are put
38:04
Speaker 1: on the wrong trains. Remove the labels from cars needing
38:07
Speaker 1: repair and put them on cars in good order. Leave
38:11
Speaker 1: couplings between the cars as loose as possible. C road
38:15
Speaker 1: beds and open track. One On a curve, take the
38:20
Speaker 1: bolts out of the tie plates connecting to sections of
38:22
Speaker 1: the outside rail, and scoop away the gravel. Cinders are
38:25
Speaker 1: dirt for a few feet on each side of the
38:27
Speaker 1: connecting joint. Two If by disconnecting the tie plate at
38:31
Speaker 1: a joint and loosening sleeper nails on each side of
38:34
Speaker 1: the joint, it becomes possible to move a section of rail,
38:37
Speaker 1: spread two sections of rail, and drive a spike vertically
38:39
Speaker 1: between them. D Oil and lubrication one C five B

39:24
Speaker 1: or put half a kilogram of saft soap into the
39:26
Speaker 1: water in the tender I Brakes and miscellaneous. One. Engines
39:32
Speaker 1: should be run at high speeds and use brakes excessively
39:35
Speaker 1: at curves on downhill grades. Two. Punch holes in air
39:38
Speaker 1: brake valves or water supply pipes. Three in the last
39:42
Speaker 1: car of a passenger train or a front car of
39:45
Speaker 1: a freight Remove the wadding from a journal box and
39:47
Speaker 1: replace it with oily rags. Seven. Transportation automotive A roads.
39:55
Speaker 1: Damage to roads three below is slow and therefore in
39:59
Speaker 1: practical as a day or near d day activity. One
40:03
Speaker 1: change signposts at intersections and forks. The enemy will go
40:06
Speaker 1: the wrong way and it may be miles before he
40:09
Speaker 1: discovers his mistakes. In areas where traffic is composed primarily
40:13
Speaker 1: of enemy autos, trucks, and motor convoys of various kinds,
40:16
Speaker 1: remove danger signs from curves and intersections. Two. When the
40:21
Speaker 1: enemy asks for directions, give him wrong information, especially when
40:25
Speaker 1: enemy convoys are in the neighborhood. Truck drivers can spread
40:28
Speaker 1: rumors and give false information about bridges being out, ferries closed,
40:32
Speaker 1: and detours lying ahead. Three. If you can start damage
40:37
Speaker 1: to a heavily traveled road. Passing traffic and the elements
40:40
Speaker 1: will do the rest. Construction gains can see that too
40:43
Speaker 1: much sand or water is put in concrete, or that
40:46
Speaker 1: the road foundation has soft spots. Anyone can scoop ruts
40:50
Speaker 1: and asphalt and the catam roads which turn soft in
40:52
Speaker 1: hot weather. Passing trucks will accentuate the ruts to a
40:55
Speaker 1: point where substantial repair will be needed. Dirt roads can
40:59
Speaker 1: also be scooped out. If you are a road laborer,
41:02
Speaker 1: it will only be a few minutes work to divert
41:04
Speaker 1: a small stream from a sluice so that it runs
41:06
Speaker 1: over and eats away the road. Four distribute broken glass,
41:11
Speaker 1: nails and sharp rocks on roads to puncture tires. B passengers.
41:17
Speaker 1: One bus driver can go past the stop where the
41:19
Speaker 1: enemy wants to get off. Taxi drivers can waste the
41:22
Speaker 1: enemy's time and make extra money by driving the longest
41:25
Speaker 1: possible route to his destination. C. Oil and lubrication one
41:31
Speaker 1: C five B two B two disconnect the oil pump.
41:36
Speaker 1: This will burn out the main bearings in less than
41:38
Speaker 1: fifty miles of normal driving. D Radiator one C five
41:44
Speaker 1: B two C E Fuel one C five B two
41:49
Speaker 1: D f battery and ignition. One. Jam bits of wood
41:55
Speaker 1: into the ignition lock, loosener, exchange connections behind the switchboard.
42:00
Speaker 1: Put dirt in spark plugs, damage distributor points. Two. Turn
42:05
Speaker 1: on the lights and part cars so that the battery
42:07
Speaker 1: will run down. Three mechanics can ruin batteries in a
42:12
Speaker 1: number of undetectable ways. Take the valve cap off a
42:15
Speaker 1: cell and drive a screwdriver slantwise into the exposed water vent,
42:19
Speaker 1: shattering the plates of the cell. No damage will show
42:22
Speaker 1: when you put the cap back on. Iron or copper
42:25
Speaker 1: filings put into the cell i E. Dropped into the
42:28
Speaker 1: acid will greatly shorten its life. Copper coins or a
42:31
Speaker 1: few pieces of iron will accomplish the same thing, and
42:34
Speaker 1: more slowly. One hundred to one hundred and fifty cubic
42:37
Speaker 1: centimeters of vinegar in each cell greatly reduces the life
42:40
Speaker 1: of the battery, but the odor of the vinegar may
42:42
Speaker 1: reveal what has happened. G gears one remove the lubricant
42:49
Speaker 1: from or put two lighter lubrication in transmission and other
42:52
Speaker 1: gears two In trucks, tractors, and other machines with heavy gears.
42:56
Speaker 1: Fix the gear case in securely putting bolts in only
42:59
Speaker 1: half bolt holes. The gears will be badly jolted in
43:03
Speaker 1: use and will soon need repairs. H tires One slash
43:09
Speaker 1: or puncture tires of unguarded vehicles. Put a nail inside
43:12
Speaker 1: a match box or other small box and set it
43:14
Speaker 1: vertically in front of the back tire of a stationary car.
43:18
Speaker 1: When the car starts off, the nail will go neatly
43:20
Speaker 1: through the tire. Two it is easy to damage a
43:24
Speaker 1: tire in a tire repair shop. In fixing flats, spell glass, benzene,
43:28
Speaker 1: caustic soda, or other material inside the casing which will
43:32
Speaker 1: puncture or corrode the tube. If you put a gummy
43:35
Speaker 1: substance inside the tube, the next flat will stick the
43:38
Speaker 1: tube to the casing and make it unusable. Or when
43:41
Speaker 1: you fix a flat tire, you can simply leave between
43:43
Speaker 1: the tube and the casing the object which caused the
43:45
Speaker 1: flat in the first place. Three. In assembling a tire
43:49
Speaker 1: after repair, pump the tube up as fast as you can.
43:53
Speaker 1: Instead of filling out smoothly. It may crease, in which
43:56
Speaker 1: case it will wear out quickly. Or as you put
43:59
Speaker 1: a tire together, see if you can pinch the two
44:01
Speaker 1: between the rim of the tire and the rim of
44:03
Speaker 1: the wheel, so that a blowout will result. Four in
44:07
Speaker 1: putting air into tires, see that they are kept below
44:10
Speaker 1: normal pressure so that a more than ordinary amount of
44:12
Speaker 1: wear will result. In filling tires on double wheels inflate
44:16
Speaker 1: the inner tire to a much higher pressure than the
44:18
Speaker 1: outer one. Both will wear out more quickly this way.
44:21
Speaker 1: Badly aligned wheels also wear tires out quickly. You can
44:25
Speaker 1: leave wheels out of alignment when they come in for adjustment,
44:28
Speaker 1: or you can spring them out of true with a
44:30
Speaker 1: strong kick, or by driving the car slowly and diagonally
44:33
Speaker 1: into a curb. Five. If you have access to stocks
44:37
Speaker 1: of tires, you can rot them by spilling oil, gasoline,
44:41
Speaker 1: caustic acid, or benzene on them. Synthetic rubber, however, is
44:45
Speaker 1: less susceptible to these chemicals. Eight. Transportation water a navigation.
44:54
Speaker 1: One barge in river boat personnel should spread false rumors
44:57
Speaker 1: about the navigability and conditions of the waterway as they travel.
45:01
Speaker 1: Tell other barge and boat captains to follow channels that
45:04
Speaker 1: will take extra time or cause them to take canal detours.
45:08
Speaker 1: Two Barge and riverboat captains should navigate with exceeding caution
45:11
Speaker 1: near locks and bridges, to waste their time and to
45:14
Speaker 1: waste the time of other craft which may have to
45:16
Speaker 1: wait on them. If you don't pump the bilges of
45:19
Speaker 1: ships and barges often enough, they will be slower and
45:22
Speaker 1: harder to navigate. Barges accidentally run aground are an efficient
45:26
Speaker 1: time waster. Two. Three Attendance on swing, draw or bascular
45:32
Speaker 1: bridges can delay traffic over the bridge or in the
45:35
Speaker 1: waterway underneath by being slow. Boat captains can leave unattended
45:39
Speaker 1: drawbridges open in order to hold up road traffic. Four.
45:43
Speaker 1: Add or subtract compensating magnets to the compass on cargo ships.
45:47
Speaker 1: Demagnetize the compass or maladjusted by concealing a large bar
45:51
Speaker 1: of steel or iron near to it. B cargo one
45:56
Speaker 1: while loading or unloading, handle cargo carelessly in order to
45:59
Speaker 1: cause down damage. Arrange the cargo so that the weakest
46:03
Speaker 1: and lightest crates and boxes will be at the bottom
46:05
Speaker 1: of the hold while the heaviest ones are on top
46:07
Speaker 1: of them. Put hatch covers and tarpaulins on sloppily so
46:11
Speaker 1: that rain and deckwash will injure the cargo. Tie float
46:14
Speaker 1: valves open so that storage tanks will overflow on perishable goods.
46:19
Speaker 1: Nine Communications a telephone one at office, hotel and exchange
46:26
Speaker 1: switchboards delay putting enemy calls through, give them wrong numbers,
46:31
Speaker 1: cut them off accidentally, or forget to disconnect them so
46:34
Speaker 1: that the line cannot be used again. Two hamper official
46:38
Speaker 1: and especially military business by making at least one phone
46:41
Speaker 1: call a day to an enemy headquarters. When you get them,
46:45
Speaker 1: tell them you have the wrong number. Call military or
46:48
Speaker 1: police offices and make anonymous false reports of fires, air raids, bombs.
46:54
Speaker 1: Three in offices and buildings used by the enemy. Unscrew
46:57
Speaker 1: the earphone of telephone receivers and remove the diet. Electricians
47:02
Speaker 1: and telephone repairmen can make poor connections and damage insulation
47:06
Speaker 1: so that crosstalk and other kinds of electrical interference will
47:09
Speaker 1: make conversations hard or impossible to understand. Four Put the
47:13
Speaker 1: batteries under automatic switchboards out of commission by dropping nails,
47:17
Speaker 1: metal filings, or coins into the cells. If you can
47:21
Speaker 1: treat half the batteries in this way, the switchboard will
47:23
Speaker 1: stop working. A whole telephone system can be disrupted if
47:27
Speaker 1: you can put ten percent of the cells and half
47:29
Speaker 1: the batteries of the Central Battery Room out of order.
47:33
Speaker 1: B Telegraph one delay the transmission and delivery of telegrams
47:38
Speaker 1: to enemy destinations. Two garble telegrams to enemy destinations, so
47:43
Speaker 1: that another telegram will have to be sent or a
47:46
Speaker 1: long distance phone call will have to be made. Sometimes
47:49
Speaker 1: it will be possible to do this by changing a
47:51
Speaker 1: single letter in a word, for example, changing minimum to maximum,
47:56
Speaker 1: so that the person receiving the telegram will not know
47:58
Speaker 1: whether minimum or maximum is meant. C. Transportation lines one
48:05
Speaker 1: cut telephone and telegraph transmission lines. Damage insulation on power
48:09
Speaker 1: lines to cause interference. D Mail one. Post office employees
48:16
Speaker 1: can see to it that enemy mail is always delayed
48:18
Speaker 1: by one day or more, that it is put in
48:21
Speaker 1: the wrong sacks, and so on. E. Motion pictures One.
48:27
Speaker 1: Projector operators can ruin newsreels and other enemy propaganda films
48:30
Speaker 1: by bad focusing, speeding up or slowing down the film,
48:34
Speaker 1: and by causing frequent breakage in the film. Two. Audiences
48:38
Speaker 1: can ruin enemy propaganda films by applauding to drown the
48:41
Speaker 1: words of the speaker, by coughing loudly, and by talking. Three.
48:47
Speaker 1: Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda
48:49
Speaker 1: film by putting two or three dozen large moths in
48:52
Speaker 1: a bag. Take the bag to the movies with you,
48:55
Speaker 1: put it on the floor in an empty section of
48:57
Speaker 1: the theater. As you go in and leave it open,
49:00
Speaker 1: calls will fly out and climb into the projector beam,
49:02
Speaker 1: so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.
49:06
Speaker 1: F Radio one station engineers will find it quite easy
49:11
Speaker 1: to over modulate transmissions of talks by persons giving enemy
49:14
Speaker 1: propaganda or instructions so that they will sound as if
49:17
Speaker 1: they were talking through a heavy cotton blanket with a
49:19
Speaker 1: mouthful of marbles. Two. In your own apartment building, you
49:23
Speaker 1: can interfere with radio reception at times when the enemy
49:26
Speaker 1: wants everybody to listen. Take an electric light plug off
49:29
Speaker 1: the end of an electric light cord. Take some wire
49:32
Speaker 1: out of the cord and tie it across two terminals
49:34
Speaker 1: of a two prong plug or three terminals of a
49:36
Speaker 1: four prong plug. Then take it around and put it
49:40
Speaker 1: into as many wall and floor outlets as you can find.
49:43
Speaker 1: Each time you insert the plug into a new circuit,
49:45
Speaker 1: you will blow out a fuse and silence all radios
49:47
Speaker 1: running on power from that circuit until a new fuse
49:50
Speaker 1: is put in. Three. Damaging insulation on any electrical equipment
49:55
Speaker 1: tends to create radio interference in the immediate neighborhood, particularly
50:00
Speaker 1: large generators, neon signs, fluorescent lighting, X ray machines, and
50:04
Speaker 1: power lines. If workman can damage insulation on a high
50:08
Speaker 1: tension line near an enemy airfield, they will make ground
50:10
Speaker 1: to plane radio communications difficult and perhaps impossible during long
50:14
Speaker 1: periods of the day. Ten electric power A turbines, electric motors,
50:22
Speaker 1: transformers one C, five B, two E, F and G
50:29
Speaker 1: B transmission lines one Linesmen can loosen and dirty insulators
50:35
Speaker 1: to cause power leakage. It will be quite easy, too,
50:39
Speaker 1: for them to tie a piece of very heavy string
50:41
Speaker 1: several times back and forth between two parallel transmission lines,
50:44
Speaker 1: winding it several turns around the wire each time. Beforehand,
50:49
Speaker 1: the string should be heavily saturated with salt and then dried.
50:52
Speaker 1: When it rains, the string becomes a conductor and a
50:55
Speaker 1: short circuit will result. Eleven General interference with organizations and
51:01
Speaker 1: production A organizations and conferences. One insist on doing everything
51:09
Speaker 1: through channels. Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order
51:12
Speaker 1: to expedite decisions. Two make speeches. Talk as frequently as
51:18
Speaker 1: possible and at great length. Illustrate your points by long
51:21
Speaker 1: anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make
51:25
Speaker 1: a few appropriate patriotic comments. Three, when possible, refer all
51:31
Speaker 1: matters to committees for further study and consideration. Attempt to
51:36
Speaker 1: make the committees as large as possible, never less than five. Four.
51:41
Speaker 1: Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible. Five. Haggle
51:46
Speaker 1: over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions. Six. Refer back
51:53
Speaker 1: to matters decided upon at the last meeting, and attempt
51:55
Speaker 1: to reopen the question of the advisibility of that decision. Seven.
52:00
Speaker 1: Advocate caution, be reasonable and urge your fellow confrees to
52:04
Speaker 1: be reasonable and avoid haste which might result in embarrassment
52:07
Speaker 1: or difficulties later on. Eight. Be worried about the propriety
52:12
Speaker 1: of any decision. Raise the question of whether such action
52:15
Speaker 1: as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group,
52:18
Speaker 1: or whether it might conflict with the policy of some
52:20
Speaker 1: higher echelon. Be managers and supervisors. One demand written orders.
52:29
Speaker 1: Two misunderstand orders, ask endless questions, or engage in long
52:34
Speaker 1: correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can. Three.
52:40
Speaker 1: Do everything possible to delay the delivery of orders. Even
52:44
Speaker 1: though parts of an order may be ready beforehand, don't
52:46
Speaker 1: deliver it until it is completely ready. Four. Don't order
52:51
Speaker 1: any new working materials until your current stocks have been
52:53
Speaker 1: virtually exhausted, so that the slightest delay in filling your
52:57
Speaker 1: order will mean a shutdown. Five. Order high quality materials,
53:01
Speaker 1: which are hard to get. If you don't get them,
53:04
Speaker 1: argue about it. Warn that inferior materials will mean inferior work. Six.
53:10
Speaker 1: In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first.
53:15
Speaker 1: See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers
53:18
Speaker 1: of poor machines. Seven. Insist on perfect work in relatively
53:22
Speaker 1: unimportant products. Send back for refinishing those which have the
53:27
Speaker 1: least flaw. Approve other defective parts whose flaws are not
53:31
Speaker 1: visible to the naked eye. Eight. Make mistakes in routing
53:35
Speaker 1: so that parts and materials will be sent to the
53:37
Speaker 1: wrong place in the plant. Nine. When training new workers,
53:42
Speaker 1: give incomplete or misleading instructions. Ten to lower morale and
53:47
Speaker 1: with it production, Be pleasant to inefficient workers. Give them
53:51
Speaker 1: undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers complain unjustly about their work. Eleven,
53:58
Speaker 1: hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
54:02
Speaker 1: Twelve multiply paperwork in plausible ways. Start duplicate files. Thirteen
54:11
Speaker 1: multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, paychecks,
54:15
Speaker 1: and so on. See that three people have to approve
54:18
Speaker 1: everything where one would do fourteen. Apply all regulations to
54:23
Speaker 1: the last letter. See office workers. One make mistakes and
54:29
Speaker 1: quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names,
54:34
Speaker 1: use wrong addresses. Two prolonged correspondence with government bureaus. Three
54:41
Speaker 1: misfile essential documents. Four in making carbon copies, make one
54:47
Speaker 1: too few so that an extra copying job will have
54:51
Speaker 1: to be done. Five Tell important callers the boss is busy,
54:56
Speaker 1: are talking on another telephone. Six Hold up mail until
55:00
Speaker 1: the next collection. Seven. Spread disturbing rumors that sound like
55:06
Speaker 1: inside dope. D employees. One work slowly. Think out ways
55:14
Speaker 1: to increase the number of movements necessary on your job.
55:17
Speaker 1: Use a light hammer instead of a heavy one. Try
55:20
Speaker 1: to make a small wrench do when a big one
55:21
Speaker 1: is necessary. Use little force where considerable force is needed,
55:26
Speaker 1: and so on. Two contrive as many interruptions to your
55:30
Speaker 1: work as you can when changing the material on which
55:33
Speaker 1: you are working, as you would on a lay their punch,
55:36
Speaker 1: take needless time to do it. If you are cutting, shaping,
55:40
Speaker 1: or doing other measured work, Measure dimensions twice as often
55:43
Speaker 1: as you need to. When you go to the laboratory,
55:46
Speaker 1: Spend a longer time there than is necessary forget tools,
55:50
Speaker 1: so that you will have to go back after them. Three,
55:54
Speaker 1: even if you understand the language, pretend not to understand
55:57
Speaker 1: instructions in a foreign tongue. Four. Pretend that instructions are
56:02
Speaker 1: hard to understand and ask to have them repeated more
56:05
Speaker 1: than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to
56:08
Speaker 1: do your work and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions. Five.
56:13
Speaker 1: Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery,
56:17
Speaker 1: or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from
56:20
Speaker 1: doing your job right. Six. Never pass on your skill
56:24
Speaker 1: and experience to a new or less skillful worker. Seven.
56:29
Speaker 1: Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill up forms
56:33
Speaker 1: illegibly so that they will have to be done over,
56:35
Speaker 1: make mistakes or omit requested information and forms. Eight, if possible,
56:41
Speaker 1: join or help organize a group for presenting employee problems
56:44
Speaker 1: to the management. See that the procedures adopted are as
56:47
Speaker 1: inconvenient as possible for the management, involving the presence of
56:50
Speaker 1: a large number of employees at each presentation, entailing more
56:54
Speaker 1: than one meeting for each grievance, bringing up problems which
56:57
Speaker 1: are largely imaginary, and so on. Nine mis route materials.
57:03
Speaker 1: Ten mix good parts with unusable scrap and rejected parts.
57:09
Speaker 1: Twelve General devices for lowering morale and creating confusion. A
57:16
Speaker 1: Give lengthy and incomprehensible explanations when questioned. B Report imaginary
57:22
Speaker 1: spies or danger to the Gestapo or police. C Act stupid. D.
57:29
Speaker 1: Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting yourself
57:32
Speaker 1: into trouble. E. Misunderstand all sorts of regulations concerning such
57:37
Speaker 1: matters as rationing transportation traffic regulations. F. Complain against ersat's materials.
57:45
Speaker 1: G in public, treat axis nationals or quizzlings. Coldly. H
57:51
Speaker 1: Stop all conversation when axis nationals are quizzlings in her
57:54
Speaker 1: a cafe. I cry and sob hysterically at every occasion,
58:00
Speaker 1: especially when confronted by government clerks. J. Boycott all movies entertainments, concerts,
58:07
Speaker 1: newspapers which are in any way connected with the quizzling
58:10
Speaker 1: authorities K do not cooperate in salvage schemes. End of
58:17
Speaker 1: Section two, end of Simple Sabotage Field Manual by the
58:23
Speaker 1: United States Office of Strategic Services. Recording by James Christopher
