Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, made in 1975 and directed by Don Edmonds, is the Trope Codifier of the Nazisploitation subgenre of exploitation films.The Trope Maker of the Nazisploitation subgenre was Love Camp 7, made in 1969 six years earlier. When that was a big hit in Canada, André Link and John Dunning of Montreal distributor Cinepix quickly drafted the script for this movie, and secured David F. Friedman (who'd starred in Love Camp 7 and produced Herschell Gordon Lewis's Blood Feast) as a producer, who went by the pseudonym of Herman Traeger.Former Las Vegas showgirl Dyanne Thorne stars as the eponymous Ilsa, the buxom, sadistic, nymphomaniac commandant of what seems to be an odd combination of a Stalag (prisoner-of-war camp) and a Jewish death-camp. Ilsa has an insatiable sexual appetite and each night takes one of the male prisoners to bed, castrating them when they ejaculate before she has orgasmed herself. By day, she conducts experiments on other prisoners, attempting to prove that women can sustain more pain than men and thus should be allowed to fight in the army. When an American prisoner by the name of Wolfe is brought to the camp who can withhold ejaculation, she is finally sated, but otherwise things turn to hell for her when his resulting allowance to live culminates in him rallying an uprising amongst the prisoners and her death.Luckily for her, she's back alive and well in the sequels Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks (1976), Ilsa the Wicked Warden and Ilsa, the Tigress of Siberia (both 1977).Notable for being filmed on the former set of Hogan's Heroes.

Trash the Set: The finale of She Wolf of the SS utterly demolished the Hogan's Heroes set. This was actually the main reason why the Hogan's Heroes producers allowed She Wolf of the SS to be filmed in their set to begin with, since they would not have to pay for demolitionists.

comment
Artistic License – History: The movie, being an exploitation film, ignores the fact that no woman was ever the commandant of a Nazi prison camp, and capitalizes on the very real sadism and hypersexuality of such SS Aufseherinnen as Ilse Koch (who was infamously — but falsely — accused of having gloves and lampshades made from the skin of the prisoners of her husband's concentration camp and upon whom the title character is loosely based) and Irma Grese (who was incredibly sadistic towards the prisoners of the camp she was a warden of, especially the female ones). Also, a number of signs are seen that use Fraktur, a font which was banned by the Nazis in 1941 for being a "Jewish" form of lettering.

 Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS / int_89499ccf
comment
Dolled-Up Installment: There are three sequels set in contemporary times with Ilsa not only alive but still reasonably young. This is because those films were initially spiritual successors of the original Ilsa film staring Thorne as more or less the same character. After they were made, they changed the titles and dubbed her name in. This also explains why she apparently died more than once.

At the end, when Ilsa initiates a rebellion and has El Sharif chained and gagged, Ilsa lies to Katsina telling her that Sharif's final wish before his execution is sleeping with her, so when Katsina mounts him, the bomb is activated and it explodes, killing them both.
