Saboteur (Red Alert)

During the Second World War, both sides utilized special infantry units to infiltrate and sabotage important enemy buildings or locations. Although these agents were utilized more frequently by the Allies and were sometimes trained for espionage as well, the Soviets did also use Saboteurs in some cases.

In one case, an important Soviet base in Germany was infiltrated and sabotaged by an allied Saboteur, who planted C4 charges on all the most important buildings, making the base an easy prey for the allied presence in the area. However, a skilled soviet commander managed to track the saboteur down and kill him before he was able to blow up the whole base.

After the war, Saboteurs, as well as thieves, were retired as their duty was taken by Spies, who became able to sabotage enemy buildings.
