2006 dvd remaster comments

I recently bought the 2006 remastered dvd for £2 in a second hand shop.

I understand it has been cleaned up and that it includes scenes cut from the versions often shown on tv.

Can some of the experts on IMDB tell me if I have the most complete version?

(I have just seen the scene where the tank commander meets his tanks and his men and has met the German/American troops in the bunker)

It certainly looks good but I am disappointed that the panzer song does not have lyrics on the subtitles.
Am I right in thinking that the song is a Hoolywood thing and not a real nazi song?

Of course the thing about this film is that to enjoy it you have to love the star performances and ignore the fact it was made in fascist Spain and look like it.

To answer my own post,I have been looking around on the internet especially the big TCM site on this film and it seems the version I have has all the previously missing scenes.
The song I mention is real.

Does anybody have any infomration or comments on the making of anti German,anti nazi war films in fascist Spain in the 1960s.
There were real nazis living in Spain then,did they go along to the filming to re live the old days?
