How many germans did the french resistance kill?

As opposed to, say, americans killed by the german resistance after surrender in WWII.

Just because Condi likes to compare the latter to GWII, and I was wondering which was more accurate.

1. its wasn't so much quantity as quality

and more in the espionage area.

Don't have a number for you but it was not large numbers.

3. I don't believe you will find numbers on this,

I do not believe that the French or German Resistance kept official tallies on their kills. The German Werewolves were in operation till 1947 though, 3 years after WWII ended if that is to give you any idea on what to expect from Iraq.

5. Who / what were the German werewolves?

Dumb question from someone representing the history challenged among us.

7. Propaganda

A name for SS units attacking allied forces in territories no longer under Nazi-occupation. AFAIR they were mostly active in last two years of the war.

6. From what I have read the German Werewolves were not as active

post war as what we are seeing in Iraq. They were very active in the last two years of the war when their most notable exploits took place.
