Nice outfit jgodeau but it just doesn't say Ilsa.  You need that bluse with the distinctive plunging neckline. 

I don't know about the cast members but the producer was Jewish.  Ilsa does claim some historical roots, being loosely based supposedly on Ilse Koch, the notorious "Bitch of Buchenwald."  

There's no way to avoid offending someone.  The very depth of the Nazi's evil has made them iconic figures that continue to hold people's interest for better or worse, whether it's skinheads, Indiana Jones' villians or Mel Brooks' "Springtime for Hitler farce."  Most people can tell the difference between reverence and irreverence.  Banning Nazi promotion certainly doesn't seem to have curtailed the rise of fascist or neo-Nazi movements in Germany.  Indeed, the whole world seems to be trending towards madness, whether you call it neo-conservatism, fundamentalism or whatever.  Hiding swastikas and congratulating ourselves on a job well done while allowing the Dafurs of the world to continue seems a little silly at best.  Inhumanity does not need any particular symbol or creed to flourish.
