OSS Sabotage Manual

You have to download this, it’s a brilliant read. Full of useful ways to damage and disable motors of every kind, factory parts, roads, phone systems, fuse boards, lighting etc. Anything the OSS thought would slow down the enemy back in 1944.

How many grams of sugar you need to completely ruin 10 gallons of petrol.

How to make a three stage fuse with string, grease and a match head.

How to create a sponge bomb that will swell and block a sewer pipe.

Where to sprinkle rock salt to short circuit electrical connections in the wet.

Makes me feel eight years old again!

There’s a little bit of lame stuff, like the suggestion to take a bag of moths to propaganda movies screenings because once released they will gravitate to the projector and obscure the movie with their flutter.

I’d also pass on the idea to “Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion, especially when confronted by government clerks.”, appealing though that might be with todays bureaucracy.

But on the whole it’s gold and whoever wrote must have had a ball.
