Werwolf and alternate history

[jonbaker.livejournal.com]

Yes, there was guerilla activity in post-Capitulation Germany. No, it was not a significant factor in anything. The guerilla Werwolf units were almost nonexistent after May 7, 1945. There were a few isolated incidents, which may have been Werwolf, or may have been other isolated fanatics.

This review http://www.johnreilly.info/wer.htm of a book about Werwolf itself talks about an alternate history where Werwolf really was a significant factor in the occupation of Germany.

As for the other, about Lincoln: the Lincoln quote is in fact fabricated, and there's little evidence that he supported the kind of extreme measures that you claim as a matter of conviction, rather than political damage control (better exile than the indefinite imprisonment advocated by Gen'l Burnside): http://www.factcheck.org/article415.html
