The Devil's Brigade is a 1966 book written by World War II combat pilot, novelist, and historian Robert H. Adleman in conjunction with Col. George Walton, a brigade member. The story tells the real-life World War II story of the 1st Special Service Force.

A 1968 motion picture action drama based on the book recounts the formation and training of a unique joint commando unit of American and Canadian soldiers that became known as the Devil's Brigade. The film dramatizes the unit's first mission in the Italian Campaign with the seemingly impossible task of capturing what to that point had been an impregnable Nazi stronghold.

The motion picture was filmed in Utah with the 3rd United States Army Special Forces Group at Camp Williams, Utah and on location in Italy. In his first film as producer, David L. Wolper had originally purchased the film rights to Robin Moore's The Green Berets but found that no film studio would back him. Wolper had his troops wear attractive but imaginary red berets in a parade ground scene that also that featured on the film's poster.

The cast of The Devil's Brigade included minor roles for NFL running back Paul Hornung and World Middleweight Champion boxer, Gene Fullmer.
