"She Committed Crimes So Terrible That Even The SS Feared Her" boasts the poster. What sort of audience are they trying to attract with that claim? "For those of you who didn't find the Holocaust quite revolting enough, here is something even more disgusting?"

Oh calm down. It's a sexploitation film, and I don't think any members of The Tribe were harmed in its making.

Sorta. Sex and horror mixed together and served in a martini glass with a little swastika umbrella on it. Sexploitation had one audience, horror another, and this was an attempt to bring in both. Movies are about making money. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was more offensive. It was "Snuff" that sufficiently crossed the taste barrier for the genres to cool down.

I regarded the Nazi camp flicks as a sub genre of the larger "Women Behind Bars" craze that marked '70's low budget filmmaking.
Lots of companies aided Nazis during the war. For example, Coca-Cola made a fruit-flavored soda for the Nazis when there was a shortage of syrup in 1941 - And that is how Fanta was created.
That is not correct. Coke stopped providing the syrup for the plants in Germany due to the trade embargo with Nazi Germany. The factorys invented their own soda flavors so that the owners could stay in business. They named the new soda "Fanta".

The shortage was due to embargo yes, and the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland created Fanta with ingredients that were available in Germany at the time.

The "Women Behind Bars" was largely a sub of sexploitation, not the other way around. IIRC, the first few women's prison movies were "legit" in social commentary, and the B films to it from there.

If you have a woman behind bars genre, and then there are a series of films about women behind bars in a specific setting (prisoners of the Third Reich), it is a sub genre.
Sexploitation is a larger genre which would embrace women behind bars and all of its sub genres. Sexploitation does not require a prison movie, just any setting with sexploitation....teens on a ski weekend or truck stop mamas, those are all sexploitation as well.
The structure would be:
Sexploitation..genre
Women behind bars sexploitation...sub genre
Women behind Nazi bars sexploitation....sub genre of the sub genre.
