NSFW OSS FUBARs

The OSS Simple Sabotage Field Manual from 1944
 "The purpose of this paper is to characterize simple sabotage, to outline its possible effects, and to present suggestions for inciting and executing it."

Sample Tips
"Fuel lines to gasoline and oil engines frequently pass over the exhaust pipe. When the machine is at rest, you can stab a small hole in the fuel line and plug the hole with wax. As the engine runs and the exhaust tube becomes hot, the wax will be melted; fuel will drip onto the exhaust and a blaze will start."

"Jam paper, bits of wood, hairpins, and anything else that will fit, into the locks of all unguarded entrances to public buildings."

And, every teen's favorite... "'Misunderstand' orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can." (more)
