Not from the actual rescue but it was re-enacted in full for the "999" TV series a few years later (mid 90s). I seem to remember it was actually quite well done with Luke, Craig and indeed the German army all reprising their original roles, no Wagner on the soundtrack though unfortunately.
(That programme ran for about ten series, basically the precursor of all the current "what's your emergency" type reality shows but before they had real dashcam and gopro footage etc to use...)
