Worthy thought, Germany suffered a lot of this in WWII, with Russians finding dud bombs disabled at the factory that included notes like: "Cheers comrades! This dud is a gift from now-disbanded Mechanics Union 456 of Stuttgardt!"

That's great. Do you have a source where I can read more on this? Googling has only turned up information on sabotage by forced (Polish, Jewish, etc.) labor at munitions factories, which is interesting in its own right, but not from begrudged ex-union workers from Germany.

A biography of a WWII Russian fighter pilot, was the source for the cited instance, as I recall.

Red Star Airacobra: Memoirs of a Soviet Fighter Ace 1941-45: v. 2 Evgeniy Mariinskiy Kindle book.

Of course, there are many more: the brief resistance on D-Day from many non-German troops counts, the betrayal to the British embassy of Germany's rocket program, the Garbo mission (main agent betrayed program), Canaris maybe betraying Hitler from the start, Heisenberg's "miscalculation" and slowness that killed the Germany Atomic Bomb program (along with his offer of mutual sabotage to Bohr), etc.
