This is not a quagmire!  Our troops have been welcomed with open arms!   The war is over and our mission accomplished!  There is no insurgency!

How many Americans were killed in post-war Germany by Nazis or other insurgents?

ZERO.  

Go find some other comparison.

Wrong.  Read the book "The Last Nazis".  Also reference the book called "The Good War", it has a few post-war death stories mentioned in there.

I think a plane went down during the Berlin airlift. But that was a russian thing, not an insurgent thing.

Seems I recall it was about 60 lost, approx 30 were Americans. Will have to search. The Berlin airlift is not unlike what is happening in Iraq today, in that there are external forces attempting to cripple a nation the US is occupying.

"A gang of germans mutilated 3 American GI's...."

I suggest you dig deeper.  Many of these instances also went unreported as the press wasn't at liberty to report as freely as they are today.

The Berlin airlift had nothing to do with german insurgents, quite the opposite
