ReceptionLike many American films of the time, The Legion of Death was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors initially issued a set of required cuts in early March 1918,[3] but the distributor requested a rehearing by the Board. On further review, the Board reduced the cuts to the following: in Reel 1, the slugging of a man, Reel 2, two struggle scenes between German officer and young woman, striking her mother on head, five scenes of officer leering at young woman, tearing gown from young woman's shoulders, all visions scenes of young woman after the intertitle "And when the raiders left", and, Reel 7, the struggle scene between Marya and Orlof where he opens her waist.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/99258/Legion-of-Death/overview |title=New York Times: The Legion of Death |accessdate=May 4, 2008|work=NY Times}} 2. ^{{cite journal |title=Reviews: The Legion of Death |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=6 |issue=14 |page=23 |publisher=Exhibitors Herald Company |location=New York City |date=March 30, 1918 |url=https://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald06exhi}} 3. ^{{cite journal |title=Official Cut-Outs by the Chicago Board of Censors |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=6 |issue=12 |page=29 |date=March 16, 1918 |url=https://archive.org/stream/exhibitorsherald06exhi#page/n522/mode/1up}} 4. ^{{cite journal |title=Official Cut-Outs by the Chicago Board of Censors |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=6 |issue=14 |page=29 |date=March 30, 1918 |url=https://archive.org/stream/exhibitorsherald06exhi#page/n614/mode/1up}} External links
