Howling Commandoes
Motto: Qui ose gagne (only those who dare, win!)
Formed by Steve Rogers following freeing them from Azzano in 1944. They set out to destroy HYDRA
The Howling Commandos were formed during World War II out from various P.O.W.s after they were rescued by Captain America. The new unit, led by Rogers and Bucky Barnes(James Rogers ), traveled around Western Europe to eliminate every HYDRA base they could find. Their operations were some of the most successful of the entire war.
The Howling Commandos were responsible for the capture of Arnim Zola during a raid on a train in the Alps. It was on this mission that Bucky Barnes was lost and presumed dead.
They also participated in attacking Johann Schmidt's last base along with other U.S. forces led by Colonel Chester Phillips. The battle was eventually won. However, despite Schmidt's apparent death and foiled plans, Captain America was missing in action after crashing Schmidt's plane to save the mainland United States.
