Based on post WW2 Germany's experience we can expect another year or two of

Germans who were "collaborating" for at least two years.


With a remarkable lack of success, in that case. There were no
post-conflict combat-related American deaths during the occupation of
Germany and Japan after WW2.

significant contrast to the American experience in Iraq.

Your link didn't work for me.

As for post "combat deaths" during the occupation of Germany the History
Channel gave a rather low number (38?). If you do reasearch looking for "combat
deaths" post surrender you may not find any since they woudn't be considered
"combat."

I have seen numbers in excess of 400.

Check out photgraphs and film footage of jeeps being driven around post
surrender with vertical bars mounted on the bumper. The bars were to prevent
decapitation by wires strung accross a road. I don't know how many
decapitations/injuries happened post surrender, but they did happen.
