trashy, ugly nazi-exploitation movie

Warning: Spoilers
Well, this is the kind of movie that you don't bring home to mama. You might not want to bring it home at all actually because it's completely grotesque and deliberately offensive in the most pointless and obvious ways imaginable. Basically it's about a bunch of nazi officers who have a women's prison camp where they torture women. It's the kind of movie where you can watch it and halfway through you still don't know the name of a single character. Honestly I don't want to pay enough attention to this movie to know what the characters' names are, if they're even mentioned. Nobody put much care or interest into this movie. About the only admirable aspect of the movie is the extreme ugliness that is so pronounced that it's clearly obvious. Well, if you're going to make a cheap movie you might as well make it look really cheap and horrible. I mean I've seen more than one women in prison type movie, but I've never seen a catfight that was so literally dirty as the one in this movie. The girls were rolling around in filth basically. The problem with that is that I didn't think it was really artistically interesting and it definitely wasn't a turn-on. Maybe this movie was made for fetishists and I just don't happen to have the particular fetishes that the movie was trying to play on. I can tell you for sure that it was extremely silly and yet it superficially took itself very seriously. For example there's a whole plot about the Nazis holding homosexual men and forcing them to have sex with women. The whole thing is handled in such a way as to make you think that the people who made the movie were about as educated about gay people as the Nazis themselves. The gay guys just waved their arms around and acted like they were totally mental. There was another sequence where the Nazis tried to use women to bring a man back to life who had been frozen, ostensibly so they could revive pilots who had fallen into freezing waters. See! -- I was paying some kind of attention. And I hate myself for it. Just kidding, but seriously I wouldn't recommend watching this movie unless you're an S&M completist who likes really grungy imagery, and if you already watched it and you're reading these comments then I'd like you to explain to me who the people in the movie were and what the heck they were doing.
