The German hardcover version of The Angel's Command, Das Gold Der Piraten ("The Gold of the Pirates"), was published by cbj, a part of Random House, in 2004.
I was inspired to grab this edition based on the incredible cover artwork featuring Ben and Ned by Turkish artist Firuz Askin, who passed away in 2011.
Quite interesting the title doesn't reference The Angel whatsoever.
The book comes in at around 445 pages, with a fairly thick size, and the interior maintains David Elliot's original illustrations.
Alas, other than the exterior jacket artwork, and the German translation by Herbert Günther, there is not much else to differentiate this from the English language editions of the novel.
Still, it is clearly a quality book. Please enjoy the full version of Askin's beautiful art below.
