[00:00:00]In 1942, the first Special Service Force left calling cards on the bodies of German soldiers that read, "Das Dicke Ende kommt noch." The worst is yet to come. This joint American-Canadian commando unit trained in Montana to scale cliffs, parachute at night, and fight in conditions that would kill most men.

[00:00:27]The enemy started leaving warning signs in their own trenches.

[00:00:31]If the Devil's Brigade is across from you, get out.

[00:00:35]They earned 2,300 Purple Hearts in just 99 days of combat.
