​@@cliveyb5326 No way! This just came out 3 weeks ago.

I read once where they crept up on the enemy in a OP or similar and they were asleep. They silently killed them all but one and left a calling card for the one left alive to be aware who had visited when he awoke. Scary stuff

That might have been the 22nd Regiment. I don't find much written about them online, but within the Canadian regular forces they were remembered as being terrifyingly effective during WWII.

It was originally a brain child of the British but since they didn’t have enough resources for creating such a division they handed it over to the Americans and Canadians to form it themselves.

Yes, and if you’ve seen the movie, that is explained right in the first ten minutes of the movie.

The British formed both the Commando Regiment & Special Boat Service (equivalent of SEALS) in 1940 and the Special Air Service (SAS) in 1941.The Commandos consisted of 2000 men in 1940 which was two years before the Devil's brigade consisting of 1800 men was formed in 1942. The Americans and Canadians had been encouraged by Churchill to follow the British example and form elite fighting units like the British ones that had had been in the field for 2 years. It was not a matter of the Brits not having the resources and the Americans & Canadians taking the initative. Indeed even Australia and New Zealand were ahead of the Americans in this respect and had formed their owen elite units in 1941. Regardless of whoever came first no one can doubt the dedication and bravery of all the men who made up these Allied forces nor what we owe to each of them.

Great movie

obviously you have never been in the army. If you watch the marching by the the Canadians you would notice how terrible it is.

One of the best and William Holden was at his best. Plus plenty of others..
