The part about subtly sabotaging the passenger train system describes what German trains are like today:
Make train travel as Inconvenient as possible for enemy personnel. Make mistakes in issuing train tickets, leaving portions of the journey uncovered by the ticket book; issue two tickets for the same seat in the train, so that an interesting argument will result; near train time, Instead of issuing printed tickets write them out slowly by hand, prolonging the process until the train is nearly ready to leave or has left the station. On station bulletin boards announcing train arrivals and departures, see that false and misleading information is given about trains bound for enemy destinations.
In trains bound for enemy destinations, attendants should make life as uncomfortable as possible for passengers. See that the food is especially bad, take up tickets after midnight, call all station stops very loudly during the night, handle baggage as noisily as possible during the night, and so on. See that the luggage of enemy personnel is mislaid or unloaded at the wrong stations. Switch address labels on enemy baggage. Engineers should see that trains run slow or make unscheduled stops for plausible reasons.
I’ve read this before and my favourite section is the one at the end about how to make an office run inefficiently and it just describes a normal office. Have lots of useless meetings. Work as slow as possible without getting fired. Gossip about your co-workers. Give poor training to new hires. Be irritable and hostile.
Yes, I love that part. In my first workplace, they hired 2 senior managers from the main competitor - they were ticking a lot of these boxes, so I seriously started considering if it’s intentional to ruin our small but growing company. Then I just realized that this is how most offices work, very ineffieciently.

Wow, that formatting is so much better. The Archive.org one used OCR, and it wasn’t very good.
Seriously though why do they have that online? Wouldn’t the current global hegemony not want people to have this information?
