OSS Sabotage Manual

»

My mate Brian uncovered this copy of the OSS Simple Sabotage Field Manual (Adobe/PDF, 2.2MB) on the Web. It's a guide to doing low level sabotage in occupied Europe during World War II and looking at the scan of the cover it does look genuine.

It's a fascinating document in itself but page 28 made me smile. I think some people I've worked with over the years, both professionally and elsewhere, have read this manual already and taken its lessons to heart.

I did try to OCR it but my OCR software wouldn't play. I may try again later as it would be good to put it online in a searchable format.
