[Rhetorical pi2]

Anybody have any suggestions on reading or sources of information on post war Japan and Germany, and the challenges of occupation forces?

Did they just roll over after the "cessation of combat"?

Were there casualties in the months and years following?

Anyone out there old enough to remember this personally?

I'm not old enough to remember it personally but the History Channel did a program on the Japanese Occupation and there were no casualties. That makes sense since the Emporer was left in place and told the population to cooperate with the occupation.
