Which special forces unit in World War 2 had a spade incorporated into it's patch?

I'm not aware of any special forces unit in the US that had a spade (or shovel) as part of their patch. The 1st Special Service Forces were a mixture of American and Canadian commandos who wore a RED arrowhead with USA and CANADA inscribed on it. I thought you might refer to the US Engineers. But their collar brass was a Castle. Germany had an organization that worked on defenses but they were not a special forces fighting unit.
