=== Counter-sabotage ===
Counter-sabotage, defined by ''[[Webster's Dictionary]]'', is "counterintelligence designed to detect and counteract sabotage".

See also [[counterintelligence]]".

==== In World War II ====
During World War II, British subject [[Eddie Chapman]], trained by the Germans in sabotage, became a double agent for the British. The German [[Abwehr]] entrusted Chapman to destroy the British de Havilland Company's main plant which manufactured the outstanding Mosquito light bomber but required photographic proof from their agent to verify the mission's completion. A special unit of the Royal Engineers known as the Magic Gang covered the de Havilland plant with canvas panels and scattered papier-mâché furniture and chunks of masonry around three broken and burnt giant generators. Photos of the plant taken from the air reflected devastation for the factory and a successful sabotage mission, and Chapman, as a British sabotage double-agent, fooled the Germans for the duration of the war.<ref>{{cite book|last=Marrin|first=Albert|title=The Secret Armies|year=1985|publisher=Atheneum|location=New York|isbn=0-689-31165-6|page=24}}</ref>
