The History Channel documentary in question claims that, "The desperate effort to resist occupation had lasted for more than two years. Over 40 American soldiers were killed."
The documentary was fascinating. It should be required viewing for today's Iraqi war critics. The years following our victory in Germany were nightmarish and chaotic: Riots, starvation, overwhelming unemployment, looting, terror bombings, intimidation and murder of Germans who helped the allies, bitter resentment of the occupation forces, growing pessimism of the American public ... sounds familar.
I am sure 40 guys died after the war was over from wounds inflicted during the war but not from some 'werewolfs' after hostilities. We had enough guys to completely and thoroughly occupy Germany and Austria. There was no real resistance against Americans after Hitler killed himself. The Nazis spent their effort to slow down the Russians.
Check some of this crap out on Snopes. Notice you don't hear Rummmy or Condi keep repeating this stuff. In fact, I heard Wolfowitz say the past week that the Nazis gave no resistance. Equating WW II to Iraq killings is Urban Legend.
