N2  - The Black Devils was the nickname given by German troops to the special forces of the Allies that fought in the Italian campaign of the Second World War. Developed from a joint British American idea, with men drawn from Canada and the USA, these special troops quickly established a fearsome reputation. Although they suffered heavy losses themselves their impact on the enemy was enormously greater. This book tells the story of their formation, training, and actions in Italy
