(1978) where only his voice is heard coming from a mental institution where he is locked up with a recently castrated Adolf Schwartz aka Hitler. However, Supervixens (1975) is by far the most iconic of these movies and for this reason, as you perhaps correctly suggest, it is likely that it was this film and not the others which were referenced by the artist Martin Kippenberger. Thank you for deepening my interest in these amazing films.

He explained this was Kippenberger and Oehlen's code name for HITLER when speaking of him in public cafes and bars in Vienna! This holds special meaning for me.
