In the dark days of World War II, the Nazi High Command ordered its scientists to create a top secret race of indestructible zombie storm troopers - un-living, unfeeling, unstoppable monstrosities that killed with their bare hands. They were known as The Death Corps. No member of this horrific SS unit was ever captured by Allied Forces - and, somewhere off the coast of Florida they have survived...
The backdrop ship is the SS Sapona, a concrete-hulled cargo steamer that ran aground near Bimini during a hurricane in 1926.
The film was released theatrically in the United States by Joseph Brenner Associates in 1977.[1]
The film was released on VHS by Prism Entertainment and, later, Starmaker in the 1980s.
The film was released on special edition DVD by Blue Underground in 2003.[2]
