Dear Ashley

Order X - the order for partial mobilisation issued by Hitler on August 25, as preparation for war. Its the prelude to his ordering of the attack on Poland a few days later.

X MAS - no not Christmas, actually an Italian special forces unit (pronounced as "Decima (tenth) MAS"), highly successful one at that, specialising in marine sabotage operations.

Force X - a naval force participating in the pivotal operation Pedestal.

But you really must let us know why you ask this strange question. I have a feeling that will be more interesting than any answer we can come up with :o)

Yours SincerelyTommy
