The Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a document written by the Office of Strategic Services in 1944. The manual was declassified by the Central Intelligence Agency in 2008.
The manual was distributed to OSS officers in foreign countries in order to help them train "citizen-saboteurs" in German-occupied Europe.
