I remember the WWII days very well. There was a lot of talk of sabotage but very little, if any, ever occurred. We imprisoned just about everyone of Japanese descent. The Germans tried to send trained saboteurs to the US and Canada but they were all apprehended in short order, such was the vigilance of that day. For example, one of them left a matchbook from Belgium in a hotel room in Canada which was quickly reported by hotel employees. 8 of them landed in the US by submarine and were trained to blow up locks on the Ohio river, destroy aluminum factories and rairoad facilities. They were all rounded up, tried by military tribunal (where have we heard that?) and executed. The guard in the picture you saw was probably guarding against the plain theft of gasoline as it was rationed then. We all had locks on our farm storage tanks in those days. Thieves would syphon gas out of cars back then.
