Sorry. I'm looking for sources that lists the dates, units, and locations. What you cited were just about revisionist history. I want to see GI deaths specified so that verification is possible. I would like to see if he lists any units with which I am familiar. If deaths can't be verified, it is just urban legend.

Well, I'll check out this book that is here in the university's library, the one published by the University of Toronto, and see what is there.

I am reading Beevor's epic work - "The Fall of Berlin 1945" right now. It has just dropped off the first row bookshelves where it stayed for six months and now sells for nine bucks at major bookstores - I got mine at Barnes and Noble.
If you are interested in this era, it is a must have.
Beevor devotes only three pages of his 500 page work to "Werwolf".The reason being, it was not an important movement.
It was a loose plan that never really materialized and was more propaganda put out by theNazis during their last days.
On page 175 he writes -
"Ultimately, Werwolf achieved very little, apart from a couple of assasinations - the mayors of Aachen and Krankenhagen - and the intimidation of civilians."
On the same page:
"In the west, the allies found that Werwolf was a fiasco."

I have asked the same question about casualities numbers many times and have come and never get a straight answer. I have come to the conclusion that advocates of the werewolf theory simply don't care about evidence.
