Commandos in Belgium in historical map

Could there be a unit of commandos in Belgium's region of Bastogne?

In tribute to the elite unit that defended the region during the 18 Days campaign.

The following is from the wikipedia link that will follow : Sachant se dérober dans les bois et les fermes ardennaises aux murs épais qui résistaient aux tirs des chars, ils parurent compromettre le plan allemand d'offensive rapide au point que le général Rommel, commandant de la 7e division blindée s'exclama "ce ne sont pas des hommes, mais des loups verts".

(accessory information about them too : Sabaton made a song about them : , enjoy)

Sadly, they were actually a mechanized infantry regiment, using motorbikes and tanks. They're are not commando units, as they did not undergo special operations training.

However, that Sabaton song is my second favourite next to Caroleans' Prayer
