    The Devil's Brigade (also called The Black Devils and The Black Devils' Brigade and Freddie's Freighters,[1] officially the 1st Special Service Force), was an elite, joint World War II American-Canadian commando unit organized in 1942 and trained at Fort William Henry Harrison near Helena, Montana in the United Statesicon. The brigade fought in the Aleutian Islands, Italyicon, and southern Franceicon before being disbanded in December 1944. The modern American and Canadianicon special operations forces trace their heritage to this unit.
