If in a job that’s important for the war effort, be a stickler for following all rules and official procedures. Escalate decisions so that things don’t get done without official input from higher-ups.
Actually a lot of that is still relevant, or at least gets you thinking along the right lines. All that industrial stuff still exists. Getting grit in machinery still screws it up. Yeah, OK, the thing about leaning on files on the pull is wrong and was probably already wrong in 1944, but that’s still a common belief among machinists. And, yeah, OK, a lot fewer people are doing manual labor in factories.
And there was clearly some thought put into stealth and deniability in their suggestions. I mean, in a major war, every asset including your own citizens is absolutely expendable for the right gain, but equally it’s totally insane to just burn assets even if you didn’t give a damn about them as people.

As per the 1944 Simple Sabotage Field Manual, of course.
(very little of which remains relevant today, and all of which regards the non-US-citizen saboteur as expendable)
