Helltrain is a 1977 French-Spanish drama, thriller, and war film directed by Alain Payet about a nightclub singer pressed into service by the Nazi SS, overseeing a train of women drafted for the pleasure of Hitler's officers.
Synopsis
In time, Ingrid is drafted into the German army for a special project: the Nazi high command fears morale is on the wane near the Eastern Front, and they want to establish a special "officer's club" to be housed in rail cars that can be driven to the territories where fighting men could use intimate female companionship. While Ingrid is able to round up some acceptable volunteers for her brothel on rails, she's forced to fill out their numbers with a handful of prisoners and political dissidents; one of the captives proves to be Greta (Sandra Mozarowsky), a friend of Ingrid from their days at college, putting her in a difficult situation.
However, Ingrid soon has more to worry about when a Polish refugee assigned to work on the train turns out to be affiliated with the underground resistance and leads a rebel attack against the train and its passengers. Helltrain is directed by Alain Payet, though English language prints credit James Gartner.
