The deaths that occured in occupied Japan and Germany were chiefly due
to things like traffic accidents, barroom fights between allied
troops, ammunition mishpas, and so on.  The nmuber of deaths from
hostile actions by the Japanese or Germans were pretty close to zero.

Can you elaborate on whether you're looking for total fatalities, or
those from hostile activities.

Thanks.

It doesn't have the hard and fast numbers, but there sure is a lot of
context that should be of interest to you, I would think.

Actually, I do know I've read about resistance groups after the war's
end...It's just a matter of finding the correct data...
