- Due to its political theme, no German distributor was willing to show the film until 1960. Then, after the huge success of Psycho (1960), Constantin Film released the film with a running time of ca. 98 Minutes; approximately 22 minutes were cut, mainly Nazi-sequences. ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen) showed the film in 1995 for the first time ever in Germany in a newly-dubbed uncut version.
- There is an Italian edition of this film on DVD, distributed by DNA Srl: "CORRISPONDENTE 17" (Il prigioniero di Amsterdam, 1940) - New Widescreen Edition (in double version 1.33:1 and 1.78:1), re-edited with the contribution of film historian Riccardo Cusin. This version is also available for streaming on some platforms.
- In the German version the final radio address was missing. The movie ends with the newspaper headlines.
