Ilsa is an evil Nazi warden at a death camp that conducts "medical experiments." Ilsa's goal is to prove women can withstand more pain and suffering than men, and therefore should be allowed to fight on the front lines.

The scene is set from the start - Ilsa, chief warden of a Nazi concentration - is enjoying the pleasures of one of her male captives. He has the temerity to orgasm before she does, and is speedily hauled off by 2 of Ilsa's henchwomen for speedy castration. Shortly after, a lorry load of fresh female captives arrives. Ilsa informs them: "Do not be afraid, we are doctors." While this statement is true, the reality is that she wishes to use them in "medical experiments" to prove that women are as able to withstand pain as men, in fact better. This is in fact "proved" by flogging one of each to death at the same time, with the two henchwomen laying on with whips while stripped to the waist. After much more along the same lines, Ilsa's nemesis arrives - a blond, blue-eyed American who has been swept up in the death camps. He satisfies her, but weakened by lust for him, Ilsa fails to spot the inevitable prisoners revolt which reverses the table on the baddies. Ilsa is given the full, um, lash by the delectable Dianne Thorne - the bogus German action laid on with a trowel, magnificent breasts deployed at every available opportunity. The success of Ilsa begat a series of similarly themed knock offs by the one and only Jess Franco - the best of these, set in a dodgy South American prison - is Ilsa, Wicked Warden.—tmulqueen

Ilsa, the merciless commander of a Nazi prison camp, conducts sadistic medical experiments on helpless inmates, hell-bent on proving that females can endure more pain than men. But no one knows that Ilsa desperately needs sweet love. Indeed, she is obsessed with finding the right man to satisfy her needs during the winter's long and lonely nights. As a result, when a handsome convict sets foot in the camp, Ilsa grabs her golden opportunity, and before long, the newly arrived prisoner becomes indispensable. However, nothing can suppress the desire for freedom. Now, Ilsa's favourite lover has a hidden agenda. Can his bold plans threaten Ilsa, the pitiless She-Wolf of the SS?—Nick Riganas

The year is 1945, and World War II is approaching its end. The authoritarian Ilsa is the female commandant of a Nazi concentration camp. She is conducting her own sadistic scientific experiments to demonstrate that women are more capable of enduring pain than men, in hopes of eventually convincing her sexist superiors that women must be allowed to fight along the rest of the German military. Ilsa has a voracious sexual appetite, choosing a new male prisoner each night to sleep with. Her lovers inevitably ejaculate before she is fully satisfied, so she has them castrated and executed. Ilsa becomes enamored with Wolfe, a blond-haired and blue-eyed prisoner who, resembles the Nazi Aryan ideal. He has far better stamina and skills than her previous lovers, so she decides to keep him around as a sex slave. Wolfe is using Ilsa's misplaced trust in him to orchestrate a revolt with a group of disgruntled female prisoners. During a sex game, Ilsa is tied to her bed with her own stockings by Wolfe. He uses this method to incapacitate her and to steal her gun. Rioting prisoners kill most of the camp guards, while capturing a few of them. Against Wolfe's wishes the prisoners summarily execute the unarmed captives. Wolfe and a lone female prisoner escape into the nearby hills, while the rest of the prisoners fight to the death against a Waffen-SS tank unit which has suddenly arrived in the camp. The tank unit kills all the prisoners, and their commander then murders the still incapacitated Ilsa. The unit had been ordered to raze the camp and to destroy all evidence of its atrocities. The commander is unaware that Wolfe and his fellow escapee are silently watching his own crimes.—Dimos I
