It will be safe for him to assume that almost any product of heavy industry is destined for enemy use, and that the most efficient fuels and lubricants also are destined for enemy use.

Sarà lecito per lui presumere che quasi qualsiasi prodotto dell'industria pesante sia destinato all'uso nemico, e che i carburanti e i lubrificanti più efficienti siano anch'essi destinati all'uso nemico.

Without special knowledge, however, it would be undesirable for him to attempt destruction of food crops or food products.

Senza una conoscenza specifica, tuttavia, sarebbe inopportuno per lui tentare la distruzione di colture alimentari o prodotti alimentari.

(e) Although the citizen-saboteur may rarely have access to military objects, he should give these preference above all others.

(e) Sebbene il cittadino-sabotatore possa avere raramente accesso a obiettivi militari, dovrebbe dare a questi la preferenza rispetto a tutti gli altri.

(2) Prior to a Military Offensive

(2) Prima di un'offensiva militare

During periods which are quiescent in a military sense, such emphasis as can be given to simple sabotage might well center on industrial production, to lessen the flow of materials and equipment to the enemy.

Durante i periodi di quiete dal punto di vista militare, l'enfasi che può essere data al semplice sabotaggio potrebbe concentrarsi sulla produzione industriale, per ridurre il flusso di materiali e attrezzature verso il nemico.

Slashing a rubber tire on an Army truck may be an act of value; spoiling a batch of rubber in the production plant is an act of still more value.

Tagliare uno pneumatico di gomma su un camion dell'esercito può essere un atto di valore; rovinare una partita di gomma nell'impianto di produzione è un atto di valore ancora maggiore.

(3) During a Military Offensive

(3) Durante un'offensiva militare

(a) Most significant sabotage for an area which is, or is soon destined to be, a theater of combat operations is that whose effects will be direct and immediate.

(a) Il sabotaggio più significativo per un'area che è, o è presto destinata a essere, un teatro di operazioni di combattimento è quello i cui effetti saranno diretti e immediati.

Even if the effects are relatively minor and localized, this type of sabotage is to be preferred to activities whose effects, while widespread, are indirect and delayed.

Anche se gli effetti sono relativamente modesti e localizzati, questo tipo di sabotaggio è da preferire ad attività i cui effetti, pur essendo diffusi, sono indiretti e ritardati.

(1) The saboteur should be encouraged to attack transportation facilities of all kinds.

(1) Il sabotatore dovrebbe essere incoraggiato ad attaccare le infrastrutture di trasporto di ogni tipo.

Among such facilities are roads, railroads, auto mobiles, trucks, motor-cycles, bicycles, trains, and trams.

Tra tali infrastrutture vi sono strade, ferrovie, automobili, camion, motociclette, biciclette, treni e tram.
