At the German TV station ZDFinfo and other stations, the 6-part historical documentary mini-series was first broadcast as a cut compilation with 3 episodes, while it was shown uncut in pay TV at the station Spiegel Geschichte at the same time. Not until 2014 ZDFinfo showed the uncut mini-series, after the broadcast on pay TV was discontinued.
The German titles of the three episodes of the edited cut version of the entire mini-series are: "Der Weg in den Krieg" (1), "Apokalypse Vietnam" (2) and "Trauma Vietnam" (3).
