The graphic advertising for this movie's VHS release sparked off the "video-nasty" debate in early 1982 in the United Kingdom. The BBFC later passed the film completely uncut in 2005 with the following comment, "The content of the film is in fact very mild and poorly executed. If anything, it was the title of the film and its original packaging that led to difficulties, rather than the content. The idea of the film may, of course, be offensive to some but that is not a good enough reason to cut or reject it. We would only cut or reject a film for adults if the content was illegal or harmful. "SS Experiment Camp" is neither illegal or harmful, just tasteless." It was eventually released in 2006 with different artwork.
The early 2006 UK DVD release of the film on the Blackhorse label mistakenly featured the film "Love Camp" (1981) and included photographs of star Laura Gemseron on the back cover. This was corrected in April 2006 for the second release of the DVD, which replaced the photos with text on the reverse sleeve.
