''The Devil's Brigade'' by [[Robert H. Adleman]] & George H. Walton is an autobiography and historical reference for the First Special Service Force.

The [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] claimed several times that he was a member of the Devil's Brigade during the war — being Canadian-born during the last years of Queen Victoria's reign, it fits. He also claimed he took part in Anzio and Cassino battles.
