When they finally got to germany, how many americans remained in germany and for how long after the war

Answer 1

On D-day itself, around 137,000 men stormed the Normandy beaches (63,000 American, 60,000 British, 14,000 Canadian). This is counting _only_ the beach landings, not the paratroopers and glider landings, etc.

Overall though, about 326,000 troops landed in Normandy during the first six days of the invasion.

The exact number of American soldiers that stayed in Germany after the war is hard to say because it fluctuates regularly. There are still substantial numbers of American and British soldiers in Germany. Today, there are only around 70,000 stationed there, though during the cold war there were about half a million.

When Germany surrendered, that was pretty much the end. Their army and industry were utterly destroyed, and there would have been no reason to continue any kind of resistance.
