Trained in parachuting, skiing, rock climbing, and amphibious warfare, the Devil Brigade conducted some of the most audacious operations of WWII — including the assault on Monte la Difensa in Italy, where they scaled a near-vertical cliff face at night to overwhelm a heavily fortified German position. So feared were they by the enemy that German soldiers called them \u003cem\u003e\"Die Schwarzen Teufel\"\u003c\/em\u003e — The Black Devils. The 1st SSF is widely regarded as a direct predecessor to today's US Army Special Forces and Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou May Also Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/1st-special-service-forces-oval\"\u003e1st Special Service Forces Oval\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/1st-special-service-forces-uniform-shoulder-cord\"\u003e1st Special Service Forces Uniform Shoulder Cord\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/oss-special-forces-wing\"\u003eOSS Special Forces Wing Patch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-early-design-patch\"\u003eSpecial Forces Early Design Patch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/special-forces-patches\"\u003eSpecial Forces patches collection\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wwii-patches\"\u003eWWII patches collection\u003c\/a\u003e for more rare and authentic wartime insignia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saunders Military Insignia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40370101354680,"sku":"535A","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/2395\/7944\/files\/535A.jpg?v=1712951805","url":"https:\/\/account.saundersinsignia.com\/products\/1st-special-service-forces-devil-brigade-usa-canada-patch","provider":"Saunders Military Insignia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
