This Blu-ray edition only comes with a pair of bonus features, Berger’s aforementioned commentary track and a brief 18-minute making-of that touches the main points but doesn’t go as deep as I wished it had. Once the disc is inserted in the player, the movie begins immediately; no promos or previews precede it.

The story also cuts away at times to the German leadership, both those at the top of the chain who ultimately negotiate an armistice with the Allies and the local German general who demands that the men under his command launch a final offensives, mere minutes before the cease-fire is to take effect, to take back territory they had previously lost.
