‘XD’ was a British series of planned demolition operations to prevent the capture of oil installations and stocks by the Germans (1940). The unit responsible for these undertakings was the Kent Fortress Royal Engineers, which was a British territorial unit, and this first became notable through its successful actions of May 1940, when it destroyed substantial oil stocks and installations just ahead of the German advance into North-West Europe.
