 The DVD release is the edited version which was shown in European theaters in  the early 80s. Approximately 20 minutes of footage was cut from the original  Hallmark Hall of Fame production which aired on American TV in 1979,  including two scenes immediately following the award ceremony: the soldiers  discuss the causes of the war in their billet while Himmelstoss listens in  icy silence, and Paul and his friends admire and make lewd comments about a  pretty girl on a theater poster. Also, the scene of Paul carrying the wounded  Kat to the dressing station is greatly reduced, eliminating the rest stop and  conversation in which Paul tries to give Kat his address.
