Love Camp 7 is a 1969 U.S. women-in-prison B-movie directed by Lee Frost and written by Wes Bishop and Bob Cresse, the latter of whom also acts as a sadistic camp commandant.
The movie follows two female British officers (played by Maria Lease and Kathy Williams) who volunteer to enter a Nazi camp undercover in order to gain information from an inmate. The camp's female inmates serve as prostitutes for German officers and are subjected to humiliating treatment, torture and rape. The escape plan fails and ends in a blood bath. The movie shows female full frontal nudity, almost constantly, but in the sex scenes all men keep their pants on.
The movie is seen as the beginnings of a series of exploitation films about women in prison in the 1970s. It predates several similar concentration camp movies, including the Canadian Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS (1974) and the Italian Nazi Love Camp 27 (1977).
It has been declined a certificate by the British Board of Film Classification and the New Zealand Office of Film & Literature Classification.
