Don't think so, AFAIK the only way to get it on DVD is via one of the VHS to DVD transfers you see on Ebay etc, thats how I got mine. I think it's still locked up in a nasty rights argument.

The nasties are unfortunately worth very little nowadays as you can get nearly all of them uncut on DVD with extras. Like some of you guys I have a fair few pre VRA tapes and did look into selling them but the bottoms fallen out of the market. People no longer want to pay through the nose for a crappy VHS with limited lifespan. You can hardly even buy VHS players nowadays.

Why pay for bootlegs like that when you could just DIY?

$10 is about the most I'd pay for tapes these days. I still dig 'em, especially since a lot of the DVDs are expensive to import.

You'd be suprised what people still pay for. The is still a lot of collectors who want certain films on certain labels and still pay be bucks for them but nothing Like the Offers I was getting for my Antro/Absurd back in the day.

If you only watch one, make sure its A Bridge Too Far

Das Boot
The Bridge of Remagen (1969 though)
The Eagle has Landed (for a bit of fun)

My personal favorite WWII film is Das Boot. It was released in 1981, but is certainly worth the watch.

A few more:
Battle of Britain 1969
MacArthur 1977
Midway 1976
Too Late the Hero 1970
Tora! Tora! Tora! 1970

Overlord is my favourite WWII flick. About half of it is constructed with actual war footage and the other half is a fictional narrative.
