Simple Sabotage Field Manual — Page 10
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.
Será seguro para ele assumir que quase qualquer produto da indústria pesada é destinado ao uso inimigo, e que os combustíveis e lubrificantes mais eficientes também são destinados ao uso inimigo.
Without special knowledge, however, it would be undesirable for him to attempt destruction of food crops or food products.
Sem conhecimento especializado, no entanto, seria indesejável que ele tentasse destruir colheitas ou produtos alimentares.
(e) Although the citizen-saboteur may rarely have access to military objects, he should give these preference above all others.
(e) Embora o cidadão-sabotador raramente tenha acesso a objetos militares, ele deve dar preferência a estes acima de todos os outros.
(2) _Prior to a Military Offensive_
(2) _Antes de uma Ofensiva Militar_
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 períodos de quietude no sentido militar, a ênfase que puder ser dada à sabotagem simples bem poderia centrar-se na produção industrial, para reduzir o fluxo de materiais e equipamentos para o inimigo.
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.
Cortar um pneu de borracha num caminhão do Exército pode ser um ato de valor; estragar um lote de borracha na fábrica de produção é um ato de ainda maior valor.
(3) _During a Military Offensive_
(3) _Durante uma Ofensiva Militar_
(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) A sabotagem mais significativa para uma área que é, ou em breve está destinada a ser, um teatro de operações de combate é aquela cujos efeitos serão diretos e imediatos.
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.
Mesmo que os efeitos sejam relativamente menores e localizados, este tipo de sabotagem é preferível a atividades cujos efeitos, embora abrangentes, são indiretos e retardados.
(1) The saboteur should be encouraged to attack transportation facilities of all kinds.
(1) O sabotador deve ser encorajado a atacar instalações de transporte de todos os tipos.
