For those who say there were very few combat deaths in post-war Germany, they are incorrect. A recent History Channel show talked with veterans who served there and they told of numerous killings of our soldiers by Hitler sympathizers. The last known death in Germany of one of our soldiers by a sympathizer to Hitler was 1949.

I've written the Library of Congress for an exact number but haven't received a reply yet. Based on the History Channel show I'd guess the number is several hundred, but that' s just a guess. It was obvious they were not talking about a dozen or so deaths, that's for sure.

Sorry to join the conversation 4 months post facto and bug you but I just got back from visiting my left wing college professor father-in-law who was a kid in Nazi Germany. (His dad was a rich industrialist who was on the bottom ground of Nazism. Unfortunately he met the Russians on the Front.)
We just get there and and his hand ringing starts, concerned that we are still occupying Iraq. I got a nasty look when I replied we are still in Germany. Then he started on the post war deaths in Iraq. When I mentioned post war deaths in WW II, he told me he was there, there were none and I was an idiot, (to be fair, "idiot" was just implied). I guess if I believed the nightly news for German teens in the 40's was the MTV of yesteryear and he was glued to the radio on a daily basis, I would be.

Anyway, did you ever hear from the Library of Congress? I can't stand loosing to a liberal.
I found some interesting NYT articles from the 40's here.
