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."
潜在的な妨害工作員は、この種の作業において_通常_どのような種類の誤った決定や作業上のミスが生じるかを把握し、その「誤りの余地」を広げるように妨害工作を計画すべきである。
2. POSSIBLE EFFECTS
2. 考えられる効果
Acts of simple sabotage are occurring throughout Europe.
単純な妨害工作行為はヨーロッパ全土で発生している。
An effort should be made to add to their efficiency, lessen their detectability, and increase their number.
それらの効率を高め、発覚しにくくし、件数を増やすための努力がなされるべきである。
Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen-saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.
単純な妨害工作行為は、何千人もの市民妨害工作員によって積み重ねられることで、敵に対する有効な武器となり得る。
Slashing tires, draining fuel tanks, starting fires, starting arguments, acting stupidly, short-circuiting electric systems, abrading machine parts will waste materials, manpower, and time.
タイヤを切り裂くこと、燃料タンクを空にすること、火を起こすこと、口論を始めること、愚かな振る舞いをすること、電気系統を短絡させること、機械部品を摩耗させることは、物資・人手・時間を無駄にさせる。
Occurring on a wide scale, simple sabotage will be a constant and tangible drag on the war effort of the enemy.
広範囲にわたって発生することで、単純な妨害工作は敵の戦争遂行に対して持続的かつ具体的な足かせとなるだろう。
Simple sabotage may also have secondary results of more or less value.
単純な妨害工作はまた、多かれ少なかれ価値のある副次的な結果をもたらす場合もある。
Widespread practice of simple sabotage will harass and demoralize enemy administrators and police.
単純な妨害工作が広く行われることで、敵の行政官や警察を悩ませ、その士気をくじくことになるだろう。
Further, success may embolden the citizen-saboteur eventually to find colleagues who can assist him in sabotage of greater dimensions.
さらに、成功を収めることで、市民妨害工作員はやがてより大規模な妨害工作を手伝ってくれる仲間を探す勇気を得るかもしれない。
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.
最終的に、敵国または占領地の住民による単純な妨害工作の実践そのものが、こうした人々を連合国の戦争遂行と積極的に一体化させ、連合軍の侵攻・占領期において公然と協力するよう促す可能性がある。
3. MOTIVATING THE SABOTEUR
3. 妨害工作員の動機付け
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.
市民を単純な妨害工作の積極的な実践へと駆り立て、長期にわたってその妨害工作を続けさせることは、特別な問題である。
