Yep . Black Devils, Devils Brigade, etc. That movie from the '60's about the unit was all Hollywood and little to do with the FSSF save for that it had both US and Canadian soldiers in it. The film portrayed it as consisting of various misfits and ex-cons, lol. The mountain climbing aspect where they scaled the backside of Monte Cassino to take the Nazi stronghold was true though.
