Nazi exploitation (also Nazisploitation) is a subgenre of exploitation film and sexploitation film that involves Nazis committing sex crimes, often as camp or prison overseers during World War II. Most follow the women-in-prison formula, only relocated to a concentration camp, death camp, or Nazi brothel, and with an added emphasis on sadism, gore, and degradation. The most infamous and influential title (which set the standards of the genre) is a Canadian production, ''Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS'' (1974). Its surprise success and sequels led European film-makers, mostly in Italy, to produce dozens of similar films. While the ''Ilsa'' series were profitable, the other films were mostly box-office flops, and the genre all but vanished by the mid-1980s. In Italy, these films are known as part of the "il sadiconazista" cycle, which is inspired by such art-house films as Liliana Cavani's ''The Night Porter'' (1974), Pier Paolo Pasolini's ''Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom'' (1975), and Tinto Brass's ''Salon Kitty'' (1976).〔Hughes, Howard ''Cinema Italiano'' I. B. Tauris; First Edition (August 30, 2011)〕 Prominent directors of the genre include Paolo Solvay (''La Bestia in Calore'', aka ''The Beast in Heat'', ''SS Hell Camp''), Cesare Canevari (''L'ultima orgia del III Reich'', aka ''Last Orgy of the Third Reich'', ''Gestapo's Last Orgy''), and Alain Payet (''Train spécial pour SS'', aka ''Special Train for Hitler'', ''Helltrain''), all from 1977. ==History== Italian directors pioneered a blend of sexual imagery and Nazi themes. This can be found as early as 1945 in ''Rome, Open City'' by Roberto Rossellini. Another Rossellini film, ''Germany Year Zero'' (1948), connects Nazism with homosexuality and pedophilia. The controversial art-house production ''The Damned'' (1969), directed by Luchino Visconti, about the rise and fall of a German industrialist family in the Third Reich, is also a major influence on the genre. The film features an orgy of homosexual SA-Men and depicts one of the main characters as a troubled multiple pervert posing in a transvestite outfit, molesting little girls, and committing incest with his own mother. Other early examples of sexual themes and Nazism combined can be found in the West German productions ''Des Teufels General'' (The Devil's General) (1955) by Helmut Käutner and ''Lebensborn''/''Ordered to Love'' (1961). The critically acclaimed 1964 film ''The Pawnbroker'' includes a flashback scene showing nude women kept in a concentration camp brothel. The Italian Giallo thriller ''In the Folds of the Flesh'' (aka ''Nelle pieghe della carne'', 1970) has a similar flashback sequence of attractive nude women being sent to a Nazi gas chamber. But the earliest sexploitation film set in a Nazi camp was ''Love Camp 7'' (1969). It was also the vanguard of the modern women-in-prison genre that emerged in the early 1970s. ''Love Camp 7'' established the pattern for the many films that followed. The story resembles a "true adventure" pulp yarn from a men's adventure magazine of the period. In order to rescue a Jewish scientist, two female agents infiltrate a Nazi Joy Division camp, where prisoners are kept as sex slaves for German officers. There are scenes of boot-licking humiliation, whipping, torture, lesbianism, and near-rape, culminating in a violent and bloody escape. The stock characters include a cruel and perverse commandant, a lesbian doctor, sadistic guards who freely abuse the prisoners, and a sympathetic German who tries to help the prisoners. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nazi exploitation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
