In the summer of 1942, American Lieutenant Colonel Robert T. Frederick, a War Department staff officer with no prior
combat or command experience, is summoned to Britain where he is selected by Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten to raise
a commando force composed of both American and Canadian personnel for operations in Norway. Back in the U.S., Frederick
arrives at the derelict Fort William Henry Harrison in Montana where he receives his American troops — all of whom are
Army convicts. When the hand-picked elite Canadian contingent arrives there is immediate friction with the Americans
and chaos ensues. By the time Frederick manages to overcome the national differences and mold the First Special Service
Force into a highly trained commando unit, he is informed that the Allied High Command have had a change of heart and
offered the Norway missions to British troops. Left without a role, the brigade is ordered to be disbanded and its
soldiers re-assigned. Frederick remains undeterred and manages to persuade Lieutenant General Mark Clark to give his
men a chance to prove themselves with a new mission in Italy.
Clark's skeptical deputy commander, Major General Maxwell Hunter, orders the 1st Special Service Force to reconnoiter a
German garrison in an Italian town, but Frederick decides to go one better and capture the entire town. In the process,
they earn the nickname "Die Teufelsbrigade" — The Devil's Brigade. Convinced now of the ability of Frederick's men, General
Clark promotes Frederick to full Colonel and gives them a task no other Allied troops have managed to accomplish — to
capture Monte la Difensa. Facing severe obstacles, the Devil's Brigade attacks the undefended eastern side of the
mountain by scaling a cliff the Germans believed could not be climbed. Reaching the top as a unit, they take the
stronghold despite considerable losses, allowing the Allies to continue their advance north into Italy.
