Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 3
The potential saboteur should discover what types of faulty decisions and the operations are _normally_ found in this kind of work and should then devise his sabotage so as to enlarge that "margin for error."
Il potenziale sabotatore dovrebbe scoprire quali tipi di decisioni errate e quali operazioni si trovano _normalmente_ in questo tipo di lavoro e dovrebbe quindi ideare il suo sabotaggio in modo da ampliare quel "margine di errore".
2. POSSIBLE EFFECTS
2. POSSIBILI EFFETTI
Acts of simple sabotage are occurring throughout Europe.
Atti di sabotaggio semplice si stanno verificando in tutta Europa.
An effort should be made to add to their efficiency, lessen their detectability, and increase their number.
Bisognerebbe fare uno sforzo per aumentarne l'efficienza, ridurne la rilevabilità e aumentarne il numero.
Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen-saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.
Gli atti di sabotaggio semplice, moltiplicati per migliaia di cittadini-sabotatori, possono essere un'arma efficace contro il nemico.
Slashing tires, draining fuel tanks, starting fires, starting arguments, acting stupidly, short-circuiting electric systems, abrading machine parts will waste materials, manpower, and time.
Tagliare i pneumatici, svuotare i serbatoi di carburante, appiccare incendi, provocare discussioni, comportarsi stupidamente, mettere in cortocircuito i sistemi elettrici, abradere i componenti delle macchine farà sprecare materiali, manodopera e tempo.
Occurring on a wide scale, simple sabotage will be a constant and tangible drag on the war effort of the enemy.
Verificandosi su larga scala, il sabotaggio semplice sarà un freno costante e tangibile allo sforzo bellico del nemico.
Simple sabotage may also have secondary results of more or less value.
Il sabotaggio semplice può avere anche risultati secondari di maggiore o minore valore.
Widespread practice of simple sabotage will harass and demoralize enemy administrators and police.
La pratica diffusa del sabotaggio semplice perseguiterà e demoraliz zerà gli amministratori e la polizia nemici.
Further, success may embolden the citizen-saboteur eventually to find colleagues who can assist him in sabotage of greater dimensions.
Inoltre, il successo potrebbe incoraggiare il cittadino-sabotatore a trovare col tempo colleghi che possano assisterlo in un sabotaggio di dimensioni maggiori.
Finally, the very practice of simple sabotage by natives in enemy or occupied territory may make these individuals identify themselves actively with the United Nations war effort, and encourage them to assist openly in periods of Allied invasion and occupation.
Infine, la stessa pratica del sabotaggio semplice da parte dei nativi in territorio nemico o occupato può spingere questi individui a identificarsi attivamente con lo sforzo bellico delle Nazioni Unite e incoraggiarli ad assistere apertamente nei periodi di invasione e occupazione alleata.
3. MOTIVATING THE SABOTEUR
3. MOTIVARE IL SABOTATORE
To incite the citizen to the active practice of simple sabotage and to keep him practicing that sabotage over sustained periods is a special problem.
Incitare il cittadino alla pratica attiva del sabotaggio semplice e mantenerlo impegnato in tale sabotaggio per periodi prolungati è un problema particolare.
