What can you tell me about the Allied counterinsurgency operations against the Nazis after the end of WW2?

i'm specifically interested in the US operations, and how the tactics employed may have differed from how the US conducts those types of operations now.

I'm not quite I understand what you mean.

The "counterinsurgency" that was carried out was nothing more than conventional mopping up operations, sometimes not being more than a platoon of soldiers facing off against a lone sniper. The Nazi "insurgency" that existed after the war was nothing more than a bunch of uncoordinated fanatics and was never a practical threat beyond theory. There were plans made up on how to deal with a possible insurgency, but since an actual insurgency failed to materialize, they were not actually put to use.

Since I am not close to as well-read on the Eastern Front as I am on the various other fronts, perhaps one of our experts on here can enlighten us how it looked on the Soviet side?
