5. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS FOR SIMPLE SABOTAGE

5. SUGGESTIONS SPÉCIFIQUES POUR LE SABOTAGE SIMPLE

It will not be possible to evaluate the desirability of simple sabotage in an area without having in mind rather specifically what individual acts and results are embraced by the definition of simple sabotage.

Il ne sera pas possible d'évaluer l'opportunité du sabotage simple dans une zone sans avoir à l'esprit de manière assez précise quels actes individuels et quels résultats sont couverts par la définition du sabotage simple.

A listing of specific acts follows, classified according to types of target.

Une liste d'actes spécifiques suit, classée selon les types de cibles.

This list is presented as a growing rather than a complete outline of the methods of simple sabotage.

Cette liste est présentée comme un aperçu en développement plutôt que comme un aperçu complet des méthodes de sabotage simple.

As new techniques are developed, or new fields explored, it will be elaborated and expanded.

Au fur et à mesure que de nouvelles techniques seront développées ou de nouveaux domaines explorés, elle sera élaborée et élargie.

(1) _Buildings_

(1) _Bâtiments_

Warehouses, barracks, offices, hotels, and factory buildings are outstanding targets for simple sabotage.

Les entrepôts, les casernes, les bureaux, les hôtels et les bâtiments d'usines sont des cibles de choix pour le sabotage simple.

They are extremely susceptible to damage, especially by fire; they offer opportunities to such untrained people as janitors, charwomen, and casual visitors; and, when damaged, they present a relatively large handicap to the enemy.

Ils sont extrêmement susceptibles d'être endommagés, surtout par le feu ; ils offrent des opportunités à des personnes non formées telles que les concierges, les femmes de ménage et les visiteurs occasionnels ; et, lorsqu'ils sont endommagés, ils représentent un handicap relativement important pour l'ennemi.

(a) _Fires_ can be started wherever there is an accumulation of inflammable material.

(a) _Les incendies_ peuvent être déclenchés partout où il y a une accumulation de matières inflammables.

Warehouses are obviously the most promising targets but incendiary sabotage need not be confined to them alone.

Les entrepôts sont évidemment les cibles les plus prometteuses, mais le sabotage incendiaire ne doit pas se limiter à eux seuls.

(1) Whenever possible, arrange to have the fire start after you have gone away.

(1) Dans la mesure du possible, faites en sorte que l'incendie se déclare après votre départ.
