It was the end of the Second World War in 1944, when the United States Office of Strategic Services released it’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, a guide how to sabotage the occupying forces in occupied Europe. It was distributed as a secret pamphlet that was intended as a guidebook to citizens living in Axis nations who were sympathetic to the Allies. Together they are a reminder of how easily productivity and order can be undermined. I wrote a full blog post on it’s background, contents and learnings. But scroll or download the document directly.JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJpZnJhbWUtc2xpZGVzaGFyZS0xNng5JTIyJTNFJTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyJTJGJTJGd3d3LnNsaWRlc2hhcmUubmV0JTJGc2xpZGVzaG93JTJGZW1iZWRfY29kZSUyRmtleSUyRmlUNnE4ZzR2TDhEREV2JTIyJTIwZnJhbWVib3JkZXIlM0QlMjIwJTIyJTIwbWFyZ2lud2lkdGglM0QlMjIwJTIyJTIwbWFyZ2luaGVpZ2h0JTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMHNjcm9sbGluZyUzRCUyMm5vJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNEJTIyYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTIyJTNFJTBBJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNFJTNDJTJGZGl2JTNF
