1. EINLEITUNG
The purpose of this paper is to characterize simple sabotage, to outline its possible effects, and to present suggestions for inciting and executing it.
Der Zweck dieses Dokuments ist es, einfache Sabotage zu charakterisieren, ihre möglichen Auswirkungen darzulegen und Vorschläge zur Anstiftung und Durchführung zu unterbreiten.
Sabotage varies from highly technical _coup de main_ acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially-trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual citizen-saboteur can perform.
Sabotage reicht von hochtechnischen _Handstreich_-Aktionen, die eine detaillierte Planung und den Einsatz speziell ausgebildeter Agenten erfordern, bis hin zu unzähligen einfachen Handlungen, die der gewöhnliche individuelle Bürgersaboteur durchführen kann.
This paper is primarily concerned with the latter type.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich in erster Linie mit dem letztgenannten Typ.
