Nazisploitation

100% accurate

Nazisploitation (also called Nazi exploitation) is a subgenre of the Exploitation Film and Sexploitation film that centers around Those Wacky Nazis committing horrific sexual acts as overseers of prisons or camps during World War II. Most follow the women in prison formula, relocated to a death camp or Nazi brothel, with a particular focus on gore, sadomasochism, and degradation. The genre also found its way into Pulp Magazines.

Related is the short-lived genre of stalag fiction, which were pornographic dime novels on similar themes very briefly popular in Israel of all places, before being banned by the Israeli government. This was around the time of Adolf Eichmann's trial.

Examples:

• Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS: The Trope Codifier. A villain based on Ilsa, "Sgt. Hilde Schmittendorf", appears as a boss in Dead Rising 3. Elsa Schneider took a few notes from her as well, though her character is presented as an Austrian academic.
• The Beast in Heat: An evil Nazi scientist creates a half-man-half-beast mutant and sics it on her female prisoners. This movie was banned in Britain as one of the Video Nasties of the 80s, and is one of four Nazisploitation films to receive this treatment.
• Blitzkrieg: Escape from Stalag 69 is essentially a Stealth Parody of this genre.
• The Damned (1969), which is halfway between this and a serious drama.
• Danger 5 parodies/pastiches this genre.
• Fraulein Devil
• Frauleins in Uniform: A subversion; the girls are Germans wanting to serve their country and not prisoners being forced into sex. Likewise, German soldiers are depicted as good guys. The Soviets are the villains, instead.
• Last Orgy of the Third Reich (also known as The Gestapo's Last Orgy): A Jewish survivor of a Nazi concentration camp seeks revenge against her Nazi tormentor. Another of the Video Nasties.
• Love Camp 7: The Trope Maker, involving a concentration camp where prisoners are made Sex Slaves to Nazi officers (or what would be known as a "rape camp" today). Another of the Video Nasties.
• Mad Foxes
• The Night Porter
• The Reader, a rare Oscar Bait example.

• In the 1970s, a French-language literary collection named Les Soudards^Translation "The Soldiers", in a very derogatory sense was published in France and Belgium, and the themes of the stories were highly erotic war stories often, if not always, involving sado-masochism. Titles were things such as Under the Nazi Iron^Original "Sous le fer nazi", The Sadists of Göttingen^Original "Les sadiques de Göttingen" and The Nights of the Gestapo^Original "Les nuits de la Gestapo".
• In the Star Trek: Voyager Parody Fic The Killer Dame, a parody of the episode "The Killing Game", Harry Kim is threatened with being whipped by the Delaney sisters, who are dressed in tight-fitting Nazi uniforms and knee-length jackboots. He comes in his pants.
