The genre consisted of pornographic Nazi exploitation books, depicting female Nazi officers in prisoner-of-war camps (stalags) sexually abusing male Allied prisoners. Many of these books purported to be real accounts from actual Allied prisoners-of-war, and avoided featuring Jewish characters in an effort to prevent them from becoming controversial.

They are mostly no longer available in traditional publication format, but with the advent of the Internet works in the genre have been circulated via peer-to-peer file sharing.
