At the height of World War II, Winston Churchill said that never before has so much depended on so few. The British prime minister was referring to fighter pilots who won the Battle of England, but his words fully apply to sabotage. Terror in the enemy rear did not correspond to the idea of ​ ​ a "gentleman's war," but all parties involved in the world conflict actively used saboteurs - the Soviet OMSBON, the German special-purpose regiment Brandenburg, British commandos, American rangers terrified the enemy. Daring raids on the rear of the enemy, with the use of his weapons and uniforms, the destruction of important objects, strikes on communications, a merciless "rail war" - the actions of saboteurs were very expensive for the enemy, sowed panic in the rear, seriously disrupted the supply of front-line units.
