Dyanne Thorne is very popular as the character Ilsa, for instance on the cover of the Norwegian VHS Gestapos blodige natt (Le Lunghe notti della Gestapo) they have used Dyanne but she is not in that movie. Another example of the Ilsa fame is the Belgian poster for the movie Erika (Kaput lager - gli ultimi giorni delle SS, aka Achtung! The Desert Tigers) where they realy did try to make it look like an Ilsa movie. Yet another example is the movie Elsa Fraulein SS here as an Belgian poster.
