Simple Sabotage Field Manual
by United States Office of Strategic
Services
Formed during
World War II, the United States Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was
organized for special operations and intelligence gathering and analysis.
Included in its mission was the implementation of, and training of foreign
forces in, propaganda, espionage, subversion, and sabotage. After the war, OSS
functions were transferred to the newly formed Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA).
This “Simple
Sabotage Field Manual” was used by OSS agents in training “citizen-saboteurs”
in methods for inciting and executing simple sabotage to thwart industry and
other vital functions in Axis-occupied areas.
