The US and Swedish 30th Anniversary Editions have the theatrical version, a widescreen transfer, 5.1 sound, but lack the "Fact or Fiction" documentary.
Note the differing versions:
- Original theatrical version
- Extended home video version which inserts a gas chamber execution sequence
- German theatrical version which omits all footage about the Holocaust and the Third Reich.
The gas chamber sequence is available as a deleted scene extra on some releases. -
