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."

Possibly an issue with Acrobat? The home page for the publication is

The book considers American involvement in nation-building operations
in seven different cases -- Germany, Japan, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia,
Kosovo, and Afghanistan. In all cases, the authors are looking at
experiences after conflict has ended, and post-surrender combat deaths
certainly seem to be what they're counting.
