How Canada Created Hitler's Nightmare | The Devil's Brigade's Secret WW2 Operations

They were called the Black Devils. Elite commandos who terrorized Nazi Germany so brutally that German soldiers refused to hold positions where they operated. This is the true story of the Devil's Brigade - the deadliest unit of WW2 that history almost forgot. In December 1943, this revolutionary American-Canadian force did the impossible. They climbed an 800-foot cliff in complete darkness and captured the "impregnable" Monte la Difensa fortress in a single night. The Germans called it impossible. The Devil's Brigade called it Tuesday. They left calling cards on dead enemies: "Das dicke Ende kommt noch" - "The worst is yet to come." German soldiers who found these cards knew they were never safe. The psychological warfare was so effective that Wehrmacht commanders had to rotate entire units out after just days. Formed in 1942, the First Special Service Force underwent the most brutal training ever devised. Over 40% washed out. Those who remained became expert paratroopers, mountaineers, skiers, demolitionists, and killers. They pioneered tactics every modern special forces unit still uses today. Their record: In 18 months, fewer than 1,800 men inflicted over 12,000 enemy casualties. They never failed a mission. They never lost a battle. At Anzio, they held a divisional line with regimental strength for 99 days of continuous combat - conducting night raids every single night. Monte la Difensa. Monte Sammucro. The Hell of Anzio. The liberation of Rome. Southern France. Each mission seemed impossible. Each succeeded. They were disbanded in 1944 not because they failed, but because they'd been ground down by constant use on the most dangerous missions. This is their complete story - from skeptical generals to brutal training to impossible victories. Discover why Germans feared them more than any other Allied unit.
