Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 8
For instance, if you blow out the wiring in a factory at a central fire box, almost anyone could have done it.
Per esempio, se fate saltare il cablaggio in una fabbrica presso una scatola di distribuzione centrale, quasi chiunque avrebbe potuto farlo.
On-the-street sabotage after dark, such as you might be able to carry out against a military car or truck, is another example of an act for which it would be impossible to blame you.
Il sabotaggio per strada dopo il tramonto, come quello che potreste essere in grado di compiere contro un'automobile o un camion militare, è un altro esempio di un atto per il quale sarebbe impossibile incolparvi.
(3) Do not be afraid to commit acts for which you might be blamed directly, so long as you do so rarely, and as long as you have a plausible excuse: you dropped your wrench across an electric circuit because an air raid had kept you up the night before and you were half-dozing at work.
(3) Non abbiate paura di compiere atti per i quali potreste essere direttamente incolpati, purché lo facciate raramente e purché abbiate una scusa plausibile: avete lasciato cadere la vostra chiave inglese su un circuito elettrico perché un raid aereo vi aveva tenuto svegli la notte prima e stavate mezzo dormendo al lavoro.
Always be profuse in your apologies.
Siate sempre prodighi di scuse.
Frequently you can "get away" with such acts under the cover of pretending stupidity, ignorance, over-caution, fear of being suspected of sabotage, or weakness and dullness due to undernourishment.
Spesso potete "farla franca" con tali atti sotto la copertura di fingere stupidità, ignoranza, eccessiva cautela, paura di essere sospettati di sabotaggio, o debolezza e torpore dovuti alla sottoalimentazione.
(4) After you have committed an act of easy sabotage, resist any temptation to wait around and see what happens.
(4) Dopo aver compiuto un atto di sabotaggio semplice, resistete a qualsiasi tentazione di restare nei paraggi ad aspettare cosa succede.
Loiterers arouse suspicion.
Chi bighellona desta sospetti.
Of course, there are circumstances when it would be suspicious for you to leave.
Naturalmente, ci sono circostanze in cui sarebbe sospetto per voi andarsene.
If you commit sabotage on your job, you should naturally stay at your work.
Se commettete sabotaggio sul vostro posto di lavoro, dovreste naturalmente rimanere al vostro lavoro.
4. TOOLS, TARGETS, AND TIMING
4. STRUMENTI, OBIETTIVI E TEMPISTICA
The citizen-saboteur cannot be closely controlled.
Il sabotatore-cittadino non può essere controllato da vicino.
Nor is it reasonable to expect that simple sabotage can be precisely concentrated on specific types of target according to the requirements of a concrete military situation.
Né è ragionevole aspettarsi che il sabotaggio semplice possa essere concentrato con precisione su tipi specifici di obiettivo secondo le esigenze di una concreta situazione militare.
