“u0026quot;Deported Women of the SS Special Sectionu0026quot; sure provides plenty of sordid details for those who adore the grim, gritty, and nasty side of B cinema. The thing is, itu0026#39;s going to require a fair bit of patience on their part, as this movie is *very* slowly paced.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story deals with a variety of Jewish women taken prisoner during WWII and taken to a Nazi prison where theyu0026#39;re subjected to the expected tortures. Thereu0026#39;s not much more story than that, except for the longing that ultra creepy camp commandant Herr Erner (John Steiner) expresses for leading lady Tania Nobel (Lina Polito).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s some melodrama to get through, in between the exploitative moments, accompanied by plaintive music by the talented Stelvio Cipriani. But donu0026#39;t worry, voyeurs, youu0026#39;ll be more than happy with the constant parade of bare female flesh. In loving close-up, no less. We even get to witness as women are repeatedly (and slowly) shaved down below. Of course, there are shower scenes, and lesbian love making scenes. (Thereu0026#39;s even one male homosexual encounter.) And in addition to all of the female nudity, thereu0026#39;s a brief glimpse of the male anatomy as well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is commendably straight faced. Polito is lovely but rather aloof. Erna Schurer co-stars as Kapo Helga; Solvi Stubing has a great role as a guard. The gorgeous Stefania Du0026#39;Amario (of Fulciu0026#39;s u0026quot;Zombieu0026quot;) plays Angela, and Rik Battaglia plays Dr. Schubert. The standout in the cast is clearly Steiner, offering a deliciously depraved performance. This is one kinky guy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you just canu0026#39;t get enough of this genre, this movie should prove to be satisfactory. Certainly the Italians were particularly adept masters at this kind of exploitation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSeven out of 10.”
