New Analysis Throws Nazi Porn Claim into Doubt

The scandal over the so-called "Saxon Wood Films" Nazi porn movies has taken a new twist. The films, exposed by author Thor Kunkel in his controversial novel "Endstufe," were alleged to have been made during the World War II and sold or exchanged for goods to aid the war effort. But new reports on Wednesday claim that the films could not have been made by the Nazis. Experts analysing the filming techniques used in the movies say that the porn flicks were likely made in the 1950's or 1960's, and not in the late 1930's as previously claimed. Also, the firm Sachsenwald GmbH which is credited with producing the movies is not known by experts who have a wide knowledge of production companies operating during the Nazi era.
