"The worst is yet to come" (Das Dicke Ende Kommt Noch!) This message of warning was left behind enemy lines by the First Special Service Force (FSSF), one of the most highly trained, deadly and effective units of World War II. Their commitment to victory was unwavering, with a staggering 25:1 kill ratio, but a high price was paid with 137% casualties. The FSSF, dubbed "the Black Devils" by terrorized Germans, are considered the forefathers of Special Forces today.
