The First Special Service Force, also known as the "Black Devils," was an elite joint American-Canadian commando unit during World War II. Formed in 1942, they were specially trained in unconventional warfare, including mountain climbing, parachuting, and hand-to-hand combat. Known for their stealth and effectiveness in night raids, they earned the nickname "Black Devils" from German soldiers who found their faces blackened with camouflage and calling cards that read "The worst is yet to come." They were highly successful in missions across Italy and France and are considered a precursor to modern special operations forces like the U.S. Green Berets and Canadian Special Operations Regiment.
