Here are the numbers:
Killed by the Germans and their allies or friends:
563,000 (350,000 civilians + 213,000 military).
After the end of the war:
official executions of traitors (military tribunals): 901
un-official executions: 9,000
There is a neo-nazi propaganda (the "revisionists", same people who say
that there has not been a genocide of the Jews) which speaks of 100,000
un-official executions. Goebbels has successors.
In 1986 a book has been published about that, the author is American
(Herbert R. Lottman). The French title is "L'Epuration"; I don't know
the American title.
