The FSK 18 VCL DVD does seem to be a straight transfer of an original German theatrical print or print master. The Orion logo has a German distributor notice superimposed (optically), everything is in English with German voiceover, there is no Harlan Ellison credit, and there are burns at the reel changes. It's also a straight transfer of the 4:3 print with electronic letterboxing of about 1.50:1. You can see the in-camera hard mattes change from scene to scene (when the matting goes further than the video letterboxing).
