Trivia:
The Devil's Brigrade actually existed (although the unit was actually known as "The Black Devils"). During World War II, the brigade suffered casualty rates of 39%. Following the end of WWII, the brigade was disbanded. Veterans of the Devil's Brigade have been meeting each year, since 1945, in Montana, at the former training facility depicted in the movie.

Goofs:
Anachronisms: The leather gear used by the Brigade in the film (boots, pistol holsters, etc.) is black; black leather gear wasn't adopted by the US Army until the late 1950s.

Quotes:
Pvt. Billy 'Bronc' Guthrie:
[referring to Henri] One of them's a frog, boys. Why don't you say something, froggy!
Pvt. Henri Laurent:
Merde.
Pvt. Rockwell 'Rocky' Rockman:
What the hell does that mean?
Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock:
[to Rocky] To most people, it's an insult. But to you, I'd say it's a compliment.

Not bad for an older movie.The 60's is full of WW2 movie, and the
Devil's
Brigade is better than most.Fast paced, interesting, and the strong
ending
gives this film 7 stars.I wonder how much of this film is actually based
on the true story.The movie appears realistic.
