Storyline

Set in a Nazi "Love Camp" that services the needs of front line officers. The video packaging claims that this film is based on fact, but the plot is so far fetched you would have a hard time believing that. Two young WAC officers go undercover as POW's in the prison camp hoping to get some information from a scientist that's being held there, before being sprung out by the French resistance. Unfortunately things go wrong with the break out and they end up overstaying their welcome and being subjected to the same indignities as the other inmates.

Trivia

The film was one of the original 72 video nasties in the UK and consequently banned. When the film was eventually submitted to the BBFC in 2002 it was refused a certificate with the statement as follows - 'The BBFC has refused a classification to the video of LOVE CAMP 7. LOVE CAMP 7 is an exploitation film set in a Nazi 'love camp' during the second World War. The film contains numerous scenes of women prisoners being abused, tortured and humiliated by their Nazi captors. Indeed the whole purpose of the work is to invite male viewers to relish the spectacle of naked women being humiliated for their titillation. LOVE CAMP 7 contains both eroticised depictions of sexual violence and repeated association of sex with restraint, pain, and humiliation. These sequences were in clear contravention of the Board's strict policy on depictions of sexual violence, which prohibits scenes that eroticise or endorse sexual assault. The possibility of cuts was considered. However, because the sexual violence runs throughout the work cutting was not considered to be a viable option'.

It is what it is and that's a tedious and sleazy film

"A Place of Total Despair. All the youthful beauty of Europe enslaved for the pleasure of the 3rd Reich."

... excruciatingly boring to the point that I had to stop watching it after an hour. Hailed as being the first Nazisploitation film, I watched "Love Camp 7" just out of curiosity and also because it's one of the 72 notorious video nasties and I'm on a quest so to speak to watch every single one of them. Submitted to the BBFC for certification in 2002, the film was irrevocably banned on the grounds that it features scenes of erotic sexual violence and it's obviously made on the grounds to invite male pleasure from watching female abuse and humiliation. And that's pretty much what the film is. It's pathetic, sleazy and relentlessly boring. The sex/rape scenes are ridiculous, like who has sex with their pants still on? Granted, the plot is coherent enough, and when it started, I was actually convinced that this might be a decent enough film. The story is told as a flashback by the man who organised a top secret mission for two female officers to go behind enemy lines and get captured and be sent to the notorious Love Camp 7 to work as prostitutes for the Nazi officers and guards. Once there, they are to locate a woman who has information on a German missile program. Once there, they find it hard to locate this woman and are raped, abused etc. etc.

Depending on how warped your sense of humour is, "Love Camp 7" would be more comical than it is disturbing. The acting is atrocious as you should expect, as the most the majority of the cast is expected to do is take their clothes off. The German guards are primitive apes with ridiculous accents, who have sex with their pants on, like I mentioned already. The violence and all is pretty tame compared to the later Naziploitation films as I've heard. Not so sure I'll be in a rush to check them out, because I just think that these are brain dead and sleazy films. I don't mind that usually, but it needs to be serving some purpose with a decent storyline or something. Or if your gonna make a rough, sleazy and violent film, then I'll credit the film for it if it sets out and those the extreme, but "Love Camp 7" is just pretty tame and it's extremely boring and hard to get through.
