First time I saw this movie I was still in high school, just a bit over 50 years ago. Taught me a valuable lesson - Never be the type of American many of those men started out as!
Idk if true, but I read a long while back that it was the opposite. The Canadians were the wild ones. They were picked from the back country wilderness. Lumberjacks, outdoorsmen, hunters, etc. Guys used to living rough and not afraid to get dirty.
The Americans were the "second best" pick of active duty members, Canadians were well trained survivalists, the only people trained as survivalists in any army were those already good at surviving.
Canadian army had better troups and better discipline because of the history and the fact Canada is a mich harsher environment. The First Nation were also extremely skilled Rangers.
ah come on you USA folks < you know they actually picked the canadians that lived in igloo's, traveled by dog sled and those who kept cutting down all the tress in Toronto,,,
A entertaining movie, but definitely not accurate. Both the Canadian and American members of the First Special Service were highly trained professionals. It wasn't a case of the Canadians being the uptight do-gooders and the Americans being a bunch of uncouth convicts like the Dirty Dozen.
...... should learn not to believe everything you see, hear or read on the internet, or on TV or at the movies/film. , Maybe should research it... Just like *"the great escape" movie not one USA POW was involved in that*

@evadd2 Really, they were Canadians. We'll, lots were landed immigrants thst became Canadians who still had accents. So yes, they still were Scots, Brits, and Irish. Then there were the Canadians born in the country.

Missed the best part. The Canadians marching into the base with bagpipes!
Any nation with ties to the UK use bagpipes. It’s great. It British pipers, the originals, will always be the best 👍
@@OriginalNiceButOdd Scottish pipers
That is in another video.

Loved how DEVGRU operators wore the First Special Service Force patch during Afghan/Iraq wars...they showed their respect to this amazing unit
Historical fact: the first special service force was sent to the Pacific ftrst and participated in the Aleutian Island campaign.
I met a fellow who said he was part of that.
Without proper winter gear
My uncle Sgt Eugene Pelletier 3-3 was part of it.
@@FIORGOBASAUDEAMUS Have you been to Belgium to see his grave?
@bccrayfish he is buried in Helena Montana. Don't know why you are mentioning Belgium? When post was about Kiska.
Great movie
Awesome movie based on a true story. Of course there were some exaggerations but it was still a great movie with a great cast 👍
Classic!
They will fight in Italy in WWII
This was filmed in Utah Valley, Utah where I live.
Camp Williams, a few buildings might still be around.
Plus some in italy

@littlekong7685 actually the Canadians were volunteers from many different units..they wanted lumberjack, Indigenous, miners, ect.

it was a movie!
@@jimdavenport8020 how perceptive of you! Brilliant!
The veterans (both Americans and Canadians) of the Devil's Brigade refer to the movie as entertaining but completely inaccurate and full of nonsense.

How man actually dropped out??
Not many. Lots stuck in..mostly drop out due to injuries.
Why do the Canadians have accents?
We all had accents 80 years ago. They got washed out by the media until everyone sounded Ohio/Ontario.
Because lots were made up of Scottish, Britts and Irish
@@FIORGOBASAUDEAMUS They were Canadians. Not immigrants.

Nope. The Germans feared the Canadians.
Yep, we trained them. 🇨🇦 (sorry don’t have an authentic WWII ensign)
The Germans the Canadians take that title easily. Germans probably would’ve said the Canadians, and the Canadians the Germans.
@@evadd2 lol
@@ericbooth3393When did the Canadians fight the Brits? (Not including bar brawls, please!).
The Canadians were the unruly and undisciplined ones. Just take the situation and reverse it.
Nope..wrong
100% wrong. Read some history.
good ole USA me superior than you, even in 1942
The only thing that makes this Dirty Dozen copy off work is the talent, acting and directing.
Except The Devil's Brigade is historical. The unit existed. And the battles shown happenec.
The Dirty Dozen was total fiction.
This was filmed before dirty dozen, but released after
