My Father’s combat engineer battalion was sent into Berlin as part of the army of occupation.

He once said there were still occasional incidents between the Russians and Hitler Youth.

I recall some time ago reading that when the war ended, the Germans still occupied Northern Italy.

The last US soldier to die by enemy action (Nazi Werewolves ... and no not the supernatural kind!) was in 1947.
