A daring gang of female POWs rappel down a wall of a secret “Nazi Sex Stalag” atop the perilous heights provided by Germany’s notorious Liecht castle, with the help of the “G.I. master escaper” Sergeant Howard Lester. This tense and taut hyper dramatic interior illustration scene by Bruce Minney is a classic example of men’s adventure art, complete with busty damsels in distress and an All-American hero fighting impossible odds. The work appears in 90 degree reverse position on pages 24- 25 in the July, 1972 pages of Male Magazine of which a complete high grade edition is included in the sale.
