Summer of Love…In The 3rd Reich?
Something about the hippy-style body paint in a drawing with Nazis made me think this was from some sort of alternate-history where the Nazis won, only to be suborned from within, a generation later, by free love and LSD. But no, it’s just hippy-era adventure-magazine art, looking irreverently backwards:

Duuude …. he’s an Ohio state Buckeye Fan!
Ever see those naturist pix from NS Germany? Stunning. Beauty is beauty and what is even a bigger trip is the film made in I think it was 1944, Munchausen,(maybe “Baron Munchausen”) where these nazis made a fantasy film and abundant nudity including hot black women in a harem scene. There is NO WAY ON EARTH you would guess it was made in Nazi Germany, it is, in fact, one of the cutest films I’ve ever seen. Great babes too.

Well, I might guess. Have you ever seen Leni Riefenstahl’s _Olympia_?
For all their fascist posturing, Nazi Germany was rife with sexual activity.
I realize that this image is mere fantasy, but despite all of the historical behind-the-scenes monkey business that occured, I can hardly think of two more incongruous images that one could employ in their erotica artwork. So much so that it does make it difficult for me to suspend the disbelief necessary to share the enjoyment of the fantasy.
Whether consciously created to be this way or not, it’s a very subversive image, which good art often is.
Yeah, Dr. Whiplash, it was the incongruity of it that caught my attention as well.
Nudism in Nazi germy wasn’t supposed to be sexy at ALL. It was more an idealised form of art, like living marble statues, promoting arian superiority. I’m quiet sure, free love would not have taken place in an alternate 1960’s Germany.
In light of comments by Dr. Faustus and FrankN.Stein, I was reminded of a still relevant movie starring the young Charlotte Rampling.
Anyone young enough to have never seen the 1974 film “The Night Porter” would do well to rent an unedited theatrical release version (118 minutes).
This isn’t the exploitive “Ilsa, She Wolf of the S.S.” nor is it a comprehensive or definitive depiction of Nazi sex, but it is a very acurrate portrayal of the corrupting influence of absolute power and a snippet of insight into Nazi fascist mentality.
The Aryan image set forth for internation consumption was indeed quite different from the actual private sexual lives of those in positions of power.
The film depicts a rather textbook case case of Stockholm Syndrome as the result of a Nazi BDSM relationship with a camp prisoner.
The ridiculous concept of the scene depicted above will become painfully clear to anyone from later generations.
One reason why this film still holds up on so many levels, is that it shows the all to often hypocracy of promoted political ideals and the contrasting personal private practices of those who would have you conform to their proscription.
A prime current example would be that of the yet another highly vocal anti-homosexual politician (Roy Ashburn), who was arrested just this week, coming from a gay club with a same-sex passenger in the front seat of his vehicle.
Just like the Nazis in the movie, who even after the war was over, tried so despirately to obscure their checkered behavior, conservative values talk radio KERN (who aired a weekly program by the politician), has already pulled his show from the air, and deleted his DJ and show description pages from it’s website. Nothing ever really changes…
