Have a look at the work of Norm Eastman, one of the best known men's adventure magazine illustrators from decades past. One of the most popular subject of them was that of the sadistic Nazi. These covers usually show some ghoulish Nazi soldier on the brink of torturing a beautiful woman in some strange and fiendish way. There are several pop-psychology reasons why these appealed to the men reading them including anxiety towards women and the transition from the violent world of war back toward a peacetime routine. Regardless of the reasons, these covers are visually stunning and unmistakably alluring.
