Disbanding The Black Devils was a crime.

Part of my history.  Canadian sister-unit to 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) is 3PPCLI, the Canadian unit - 3rd Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.  Every year we had a Menton Day week-long festivity, surrounding 5 December, and the 3PPCLI came to Washington State.  5 December is the important date, because on 5 December 1944 was the inactivation of the First Special Service Force, in Menton, France.  We had events all week long with them, joint training a competitions, which ended in a Formal Ball at the end of it.  It was always amazing, and a true piece of history.  It was the birth of Special Forces, that relationship at the time, during WWII.

I saw a documentary about the ww2 formation of this unit on either the History Channel or the Military Channel. Pretty cool how they did it.
