Then it cuts to the chief telling Werner, "good speach eh".

Sailor Steve can probably confirm this but IIRC the only version that has that bit where the LI says "good speech" is the original theatrical release.

I've got the "regular" Director's Cut, the Superbit Director's Cut, and the Uncut versions and I've never seen it in any of them so I'm pretty sure that when they recut the film for those re-releases the LI's comment on der Alte's little speech got left out.
