[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How many casualties occurred after surrender in WWll?

I heard something on the radio today, might have been Rush about how many casualties we had in Europe and the Pacific after the surrender of the Axis nations. Does anyone have any information on this. I'd be curious to see this since the democraps and the media keep bringing up how many deaths there have been after the end of major hostilities.

In Europe it was about 40 due to hostile action if I'm not mistaken.

The Nazis had a small group of insurgents called "werewolves" or something like that, if I can remember the story correctly.

It was on the Rush show. The caller threw out figures around 7,000 in each theatre

If you read "Band of Brothers", there were tons of casualties after VE Day, but they weren't battle caused, instead it was mainly drinking and accidents.

I don't know the figures, but for months and months, we still were suffering sniping from Germans. The diehard Nazi's just didn't give up.

Dukota, try a search engine for the answer

I think it's safe to say a lot of people continued to die in the Soviet-occupied zone for many years to come...

Depends upon the time frame and whether you include non-combat deaths. Remember in Band of Brothers how many guys died after the war from car crashes and gun play.
