Vintage Nazi pulp novel from the 1960s, written by 'Esther Mardo' - a pseudonym of the prolific writer Herman Nicolaas van der Voort (1900-1982) who used many pen names but is best known for his Edward Multon detective stories.. "Esther Mardo" was, according to the publisher's information, a "Jewish writer who escaped the Nazis." (!).
Vintage cover artwork featuring a German soldier and a Brigitte Bardot look-a-like wearing a sexy dress trying to escape over barbed wire. Spoiler alert: it will work.
¶ The pornofication of World War II started in the USA with Nazi pulp releases in which the emaciated prisoners were replaced by beautiful women in bikinis and lingerie. Or in uniform as sadistic female camp executioners, 'Gretchens' who sexually went wild on captive American soldiers. In the Netherlands, this 'junk' (with precursors as early as around 1950) was published in the early 1960s by the Rotterdam publisher Hendrik Cornelissen (of De Vrije Pers), followed by Uitgeverij Kerco. Cf. Sliggers p. 221-229.
