Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 9
Attempts to control simple sabotage according to developing military factors, moreover, might provide the enemy with intelligence of more or less value in anticipating the date and area of notably intensified or notably slackened military activity.
Los intentos de controlar el sabotaje simple de acuerdo con los factores militares en desarrollo, además, podrían proporcionar al enemigo información de mayor o menor valor para anticipar la fecha y el área de actividad militar notablemente intensificada o notablemente reducida.
Sabotage suggestions, of course, should be adapted to fit the area where they are to be practiced.
Las sugerencias de sabotaje, por supuesto, deben adaptarse para ajustarse al área donde se van a llevar a cabo.
Target priorities for general types of situations likewise can be specified, for emphasis at the proper time by the underground press, freedom stations, and cooperating propaganda.

(a) Simple sabotage is more than malicious mischief, and it should always consist of acts whose results will be detrimental to the materials and manpower of the enemy.

All sorts of weapons will present themselves if he looks at his surroundings in a different light.
Todo tipo de armas se le presentarán si observa su entorno desde una perspectiva diferente.
For example, emery dust—a powerful weapon—may at first seem unobtainable, but if the saboteur were to pulverize an emery knife sharpener or emery wheel with a hammer, he would find himself with a plentiful supply.
Por ejemplo, el polvo de esmeril —un arma poderosa— puede parecer al principio inalcanzable, pero si el saboteador pulverizara un afilador de cuchillos de esmeril o una muela de esmeril con un martillo, se encontraría con una abundante provisión.
(c) The saboteur should never attack targets beyond his capacity or the capacity of his instruments.
(c) El saboteador nunca debe atacar objetivos que superen su capacidad o la capacidad de sus instrumentos.
An inexperienced person should not, for example, attempt to use explosives, but should confine himself to the use of matches or other familiar weapons.
Una persona sin experiencia no debe, por ejemplo, intentar usar explosivos, sino limitarse al uso de cerillas u otras armas conocidas.
(d) The saboteur should try to damage only objects and materials known to be in use by the enemy or to be destined for early use by the enemy.
(d) El saboteador debe intentar dañar únicamente objetos y materiales que se sepa que están siendo utilizados por el enemigo o que estén destinados a ser utilizados pronto por el enemigo.
