Did Ed Gein Actually Know of Ilse Koch? His Confusing Connection to the Nazi Criminal Explained
Played by Vicky Krieps, Ilse Koch is first introduced to Gein when his girlfriend Adeline Watkins brings him a box of dark concentration camp items as a present. In the box is a comic book about the “Bitch of Buchenwald,” otherwise known as Ilse Koch.
The Ed Gein Story takes dramatic liberties with the real-life crimes of Ed Gein by exaggerating several plot points.
In Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Ilse Koch is played by Vicky Krieps and is shown in the first episode when Adeline Watkins (Suzanna Son) brings Ed a box full of dark concentration camp paraphernalia as a present.
What Ed Gein and the real-life characters in Ryan Murphy's controversial Netflix series actually looked like as new Monsters instalment shocks fans online.
Monster: The Ed Gein Story,' now on Netflix, is about the serial killer who inspired 'Psycho' and 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.'
Gein also delves into a comic book titled The B**** of Buchenwald, which tells the story of real-life Nazi Ilse Koch, played by Vicky Krieps. The show vividly recreates warped scenes from the comic as part of the killer's twisted fantasies.
One of the biggest fabrications involves Adeline Watkins, a woman Gein knew briefly, according to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The series portrays her as a longtime romantic partner who encouraged his crimes and even introduced him to Holocaust war criminal Ilse Koch' s story.
The Ed Gein Story,’ the character of Ilse Koch is fantastically referenced. Koch, the wife of a Nazi officer from Germany, becomes known to Gein through books and stories about her horrific crimes and is introduced to him by a friend.
