Verifying final scene of 'The Battle of the River Plate'/'Pursuit of the Graf Spee'

Can somebody check and verify the final scene of 'The Battle of the River Plate'/'Pursuit of the Graf Spee'? I'm writing from Germany and read a Germans author's claim, that the film ends with Langsdorff's dead body on the German flag and a narrator monologuing about Langsdorff's honor and the enemy's respect for him. The only version of the movie I can find online is the one on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NbXqw79A-Q It doesn't inlcude the scene of Langsdorff's body and no monologue. But then, the YouTube version might be cut.

Was this scene in the British original, was it in the US version, was it added for the German version only? And if it is the last, does anybody know whether the scene with Langsdorff's suicide was filmed in Britain (exclusevly for the German release) or if it was filmed in Germany? Many thanky in advance!--2A02:8109:BD40:65C4:DDD4:B473:6A45:E595 (talk) 15:26, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDB trivia section for the movie (which is not a fully reliable source, but usually decent) says that that scene was added specifically for the German dubbed version of the movie. --142.112.149.107 (talk) 03:44, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
