18:24 / 18:52-19:55

Heidi and Christian greet each other outside a bit longer. He says that he hasn't seen her for more than half a year and will soon have to say "Ms" to her. Heidi, on the other hand wonders why he's not in Hanover. When they go inside for further conversation you can still see Heinz looking out from behind a corner.

Inside it starts earlier and Christian tells that he has become a deserter. He justifies towards the angry Heidi with the fact that he didn't get along with the new master sergeant and was bullied by him from the beginning.

4.6 sec




24:49 / 26:24-26:33

Alternative
34:00-34:01 / 35:43-36:42

In the Italian version a moment of Heidi's scene was slowed down to make the scene more round.


In the German theatrical version the scene goes a bit further instead and they discuss how it will go tomorrow. Heidi says that she doesn't want to live any longer if something happens to him. Luigi calms her down.

The next morning starts earlier: Luigi is standing in front of the shop window, Heinz and Christian are talking in the car. Christian thinks that he always has to think of the dead man from yesterday.
Heinz: "As a soldier you know that even innocent people have to fall."
Christian: "Yes, in battle."
Heinz: "That's one!

Klett's shots still hit a man in the hand.

2.4 sec

The boy takes another step forward, whereupon Christian standing behind the grate speaks to him.

recut
39:12-39:42 / 42:16-42:17 or 43:32-44:22

While here in the theatrical version we continue with the cars starting in front of the police headquarters, the Italian version prefers the dissolution of the grenade scene.
39:12 / 43:32-43:39

The first shot of the boy walking forward (Nicky) starts a little earlier with the theatrical version.

7.3 sec




39:23 / 43:50-43:53

Nicky a little earlier again and the policeman speaks well to him.

2,7 sec




39:33 / 44:03-44:04

They run away insignificantly longer, then the explosion earlier - or here you can still see how the policeman takes the hand grenade under his upper body.

1.1 sec




39:33 / 44:05-44:14

First policemen approach, then the injured policeman bends to the ground much earlier.

9.1 sec


But in the theatrical version the crowd at the end of the previous setting slightly longer.

Italian version only at this point 28.8 seconds longer



40:17 / 42:52-42:58

Dagmar asks what would happen if the demands were not met.
The camera then drives up from Kletts crotch to his face.

5.8 sec




40:51 / 43:32-44:22

Here (after a policeman has addressed the crowd by megaphone) you can also see the hand grenade scene with the policeman in the German theatrical version. As described above in the colored box.

The final shot of Klett, in which he comments the scene with "A policeman stepped on a firecracker. Occupational risk", then actually continues directly. In the Italian version, the scene continues after this moment or the scene run synchronously again.




48:39 / 52:10-52:24

The two bank employees whimper a little longer.

13.5 sec




50:52 / 54:37-55:23

More comments from the crowd.
First an older Bavarian says something incomprehensible, then one with glasses pleads for better police training. Other people are irretated. Severals are in favor.
