It was one of these civilians who taught Valentina to sabotage planes so that they ‘blew up in the air’. He told her he knew how to make a bomber stall in mid-flight by drilling holes in the wings and filling the holes with metal shavings. The wings doubled as fuel tanks, so the shavings would soon clog up the fuel pipes, causing the engine to stall. Valentina then collected metal shavings, found lying around the factory floor, and hid them in a tiny box that she inserted into her vagina until a moment came when she could pass them over to the civilian worker.
