Love Camp 7 (1969)

Directed by: Lee Frost

There's probably no film genre that is more sleazy than Nazisploitation, so of course I love the hell out of this genre. Not just because there's always lots of nudity and weird shit going on, you have the best bad guys you ever could have in a movie: the nazis! Just look at the Indiana Jones movies, the first one was great, the second shit, the third one the best and the fourth one was just a big snooze fest... one and three had nazis in them, nuff said! There are seldom grey areas when it comes to nazis, they are evil and they will do evil things.

When it comes to Nazisploitation movies Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS is probably the best known, but this one came 5 years before Ilsa became the baddie we all love to hate. This is the flick that set the standards for both Nazisploitation as well as regular W.I.P. movies and it's so god damn strange that this is such a boring turd of a movie...


It's hard to write about the plot as there aren't that much of it going on... But, I'll give it a try. Two female WAC officers, Linda Harman (Maria Lease) and Grace Freeman (Kathy Williams), are sent to infiltrate "Love Camp 7", a camp where jewish women are sent to pleasure german front line officers on leave. A female scientist has been sent to the camp and she still has information about jet fighters that the allies need to beat Adolf and his gang, so it's up to Grace and Linda to find the scientist and help her escape, or at least learn the secrets before getting the hell outta the camp themselves.

So, with the help of the french resistance (Wait a minute... the camp is located in Germany and it's the french resistance that is helping them?!?!?! What is this? The movie Top Secret???) Grace and Linda are caught and taken to the camp. They are subjected to a degrading welcome by the camp's commander (played by Bob Cresse - who apparently was a closet nazi, so this must have been the role of a lifetime for him), where they are first sprayed with water and then subjected to a very intimate examination by the camp's female doctor (who sports the most unconvincing scar on her face that I've ever seen).


The women are sent to their living barracks and there they find out that the scientist they are looking for have been sent to the Detention cell. So, it's up to Grace and Linda to find a way to get sent there as well... but, first we have a shit load of nudity, degradation, rape, nudity, violence, nudity and some nudity... Yep, that's pretty much it, really. I will spoil the ending of the movie though... the allies won the war.

Ugh, I usually don't care at all when a movie is obviously done on almost no budget at all, but in this one it's hard to not see it in every damn scene. You really don't get to see much of the camp, what you get to see are some small rooms with what looks like cement walls that could be just anything... I suspect that this movie cost less to make than what I got for my weekly pocket money when I was a kid as it reeks of being cheap. And it also reeks of extremely bad acting... there are times I wonder if I'm watching an old episode of Hogan's Heroes rather than an exploitation movie as there are some seriously bad german accents going on here. I half expect to see Colonel Klink walking into a scene most of the time...

If there's something a movie like this never should be it's boring, but god damn this is a boring movie... it's 90 minutes long, but at times it felt like the double and I even had to get through it in two takes as I just couldn't sit there for 90 straight minutes and watch this dreck. Even with all the nudity (and there's a lot of it) and all the sex scenes (which are beyond dull) this is a very tame movie, especially if you compare it to the rest of the movies in the genre it spawned. No, if you want to watch a Nazisploitation movie that has some class (um, if we can call it that) I rather think you should watch Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS than this one. And if you wanna see something even more over the top and sleazy you should check out the italian Nazisploitation movies that came in the latter half of the 70's. Now there we can talk about sleazy shit that's never boring! (I'll bring up a bunch of those movies later on in this blog as well)

I couldn't find any trailer for this flick, but that's probably for the best...
