The capture of Saddam Hussein (assuming that he is saddam and not a
double or a plant) is a great morale boost for the US and assorted
allies in Iraq. Wonder what effect, if any, it will have on continued
resistance in Iraq.


Based on post WW2 Germany's experience we can expect another year or two of
armed resistance. The Nazi Werewolves attacked accupying troops as well as
Germans who were "collaborating" for at least two years.

There was a dislike of occupation and "de Nazification" programs as well as

the

war crimes trials. It was only after the Nazis accepted Hitler was dead and
accepted they could not retake power that they quit.

It also helped that a number of the Werewolves were captured, with the
help of other Germans, and were then put before a firing squad.

Interesting note there Dan, one of the history channels on satellite
just had a program on this weekend about the Werewolves.

I saw that too. I was surprised they insisted the stuff they presented "was not
well known." Most people I know knew about it.

Had a history prof way back when who had been an Army Combat historian
and Dr. Wooster taught a class about just that. First time I had heard
of it and that must have been about 1973 or 74 (I was a late bloomer,
mid-thirties when I went to college). He was there at the time and was
very familiar with the subject. Dr. Wooster was one of the reasons my
minor ended up being in history. BG
