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.
I tentativi di controllare il semplice sabotaggio in base ai fattori militari in evoluzione, inoltre, potrebbero fornire al nemico informazioni di valore più o meno significativo nell'anticipare la data e l'area di un'attività militare notevolmente intensificata o notevolmente rallentata.
Sabotage suggestions, of course, should be adapted to fit the area where they are to be practiced.
I suggerimenti sul sabotaggio, naturalmente, dovrebbero essere adattati all'area in cui devono essere messi in pratica.
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.
Le priorità degli obiettivi per i tipi generali di situazioni possono analogamente essere specificate, per essere enfatizzate al momento opportuno dalla stampa clandestina, dalle stazioni della libertà e dalla propaganda cooperante.
(1) _Under General Conditions_
(1) _In Condizioni Generali_
(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.
(a) Il semplice sabotaggio è più di un semplice atto di malizia, e dovrebbe sempre consistere in atti i cui risultati siano dannosi per i materiali e la manodopera del nemico.
(b) The saboteur should be ingenious in using his every-day equipment.
(b) Il sabotatore dovrebbe essere ingegnoso nell'utilizzare la sua attrezzatura quotidiana.
All sorts of weapons will present themselves if he looks at his surroundings in a different light.
Ogni tipo di arma si presenterà se egli osserva il suo ambiente circostante sotto una luce diversa.
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.
Per esempio, la polvere di smeriglio—un'arma potente—può sembrare inizialmente irreperibile, ma se il sabotatore dovesse polverizzare un affilacoltelli di smeriglio o una mola di smeriglio con un martello, si troverebbe con un'abbondante scorta.
(c) The saboteur should never attack targets beyond his capacity or the capacity of his instruments.
(c) Il sabotatore non dovrebbe mai attaccare obiettivi che superino le sue capacità o quelle dei suoi strumenti.
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 inesperta non dovrebbe, per esempio, tentare di usare esplosivi, ma dovrebbe limitarsi all'uso di fiammiferi o altre armi familiari.
(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) Il sabotatore dovrebbe cercare di danneggiare solo oggetti e materiali noti per essere in uso dal nemico o destinati a un uso imminente da parte del nemico.
