My great-grandparents emigrated from Norway to America in the early 1900's, but always intended to retire there. They made several trips to Norway and eventually bought a house in Sogn og Fjord in the village of Hyllestad. This was to be their retirement home. However the war put an end to those plans, and they were never able to return to Norway. Once the Germans found out that the home was owned by Americans, it was seized and used as a headquarters for the German division stationed there. The house had a spectacular view of the fjord. Sadly, my Great-grandfather passed in 1944, so he was never able to return to his beloved Norway. My Great-grandmother lived to the age of 94 and did return to Norway several more times, but never to live there. She now had more family in America than in Norway, so she decided that America was indeed now "home." I was fortunate enough to have visited the house in 1984 on a visit to Norway. It is still owned by my extended family.

My mother was in the courtroom when Quisling was condemned to death. She was part of RAF intelligence and trained with Norwegian commandos at a camp in the north east Scotland. She was then a Scottish based radio operator for those agents. Mum was taken to Norway when the German's surrendered and was there for about a year. We have a coffee cup made in Norway with a swastika on it that mum brought back and lots of photos of her skiing with the Norwegian forces. She also copied a letter from the intelligence files from the Quisling to Hitler. My daughter used it in a school history essay on Hitler and got a very good mark. Mum and a number of other women in RAF intelligence were all given beautiful dinner services from the King of Norway as a thank-you for their services. My sister has that today. Mum never talked much about her role in that war and what I know was gleaned from many, many questions over many years. A lot of her friends were executed and tortured. She just said to me, "when the Quisling was condemned to death, she was delighted."

Part Norwegian here, thank you for this - I learned a lot about Quisling that isn't common knowledge within Norway and perhaps has been intentionally muffled since the war. Like, I had no idea at all that he was the star officer of the Norwegian army, pre WWI. I think the reality is that the support for the Nazis was more commonplace in Norway than we like to acknowledge. Part of this would have been due to Nazis being seen as the lesser evil compared to the Communists - there were certainly Norwegians who went to Finland to fight there alongside the Finns before WWII reached Norway. While some of them (such as resistance hero Max Manus) would return to Norway to fight the Germans, others would have had their anti Soviet sentiments honed fighting there, and chosen the other side.

It wasn't just because they were seen as a "lesser evil" it was because they were seen as good.

Norwegian historian of war here. Congratulations on this short documentary. Well done! A couple of things could have been mentioned: Quisling’s role in aiding Ukraine during the holodomor by being Nansen’s second in command, his subsequent status as a polygamist, and that Churchill himself helped popularize the term «quisling» because it sounded like the sound a snake would make! PS: While the polar explorers Nansen and to a lesser degree Amundsen are still very much national heroes in Norway, the same cannot be said of Saint Olaf. In one of the world’s most secular countries, he is now largely seen as a somewhat tragic and unsuccessful viking king made holy after his death for political purposes (some Christians may disagree, of course).

A little guy feeling left by society or family or girlfriend (insert stuff here) is usually the next person who will embrace mass murder to prove a point. Quisling peaked in actual free elections at 1.4% - before dropping in popularity quite a lot. Since then we got an "A.B." in Norway who wrote a whole thesis about himself relieving the Royals and the Norwegian parliament as the new rules of "Arians" before going on one of the worst political murdering sprees of children known outside Star Wars due to insane ideas about "popularity" picked up on the internet. Fascists are going to fascism, I guess you feel angry that only a per cent love their killing-of-everyone-who-isagrees-ideas makes them slightly less popular. Pick your friends with wisdom (from a person who grew up with my grand-uncle being tortured into insanity by your fellow fascist, his neighbour who adored Quisling and Rinnan by placing him on the cooking stoves in my grand-grand parent's cafe. Do you really think that this act would be right if "your regime" had won WW2 in your illiterate idea of history? OK - prepare to live your life with a 0.06% approval rating. Try sharing some care and love, however, and I promise you that your approval rating will instantly jump above 50%

8:30 From a Constitutional perspective , this is an important point . The King of Norway used his executive authority in an attempt to stop a dictator from taking over . The King said to Cabinet that he would not appoint Quisling to be Prime Minister because he did not have the confidence of the people , nor the Parliament , of Norway . The Government unanimously voted to support the King's stance and the Norwegians continued with their resistance . Quisling's coup only lasted 6 days . This is why Constitutional Monarch's need to remain in place today . .
@landsea7332 Жыл бұрын
Reading up on Norway's Monarch today - the King still holds some executive authority ( signs legislation before it becomes law and appoints the government ) . Also the King is also Supreme Commander of the Norwegian Armed Forces . The King's position is mostly symbolic and diplomatic . However , theoretically the King could stop a dictator from taking over because he could say I'm not going to sign this legislation and he is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces . .

I am german, lived and worked in Norway in the late 1980's as a young guy. One of my norwegian collegues mentioned he had an old uncle ("very nice man") who was married to a german lady. He suggested they would love to meet me and arranged a visit. I went there for coffee and to start with there was a warm and friendly atmosphere. However after a while the old man mentioned the war and I expressed that I was deeply ashamed of what my fathers generation had done. But his reaction came as a shock, he praised Hitler and Quisling, called Willy Brandt a traitor and insisted that the Jews had declared war to Germany. I quickly left this horrifying meeting while having problems to stay polite. The next day I asked my colluege, why he didn't tell me about his uncles views beforehand. His unbelievable reaction was that they never talked politics. It didn't seem to bother him at all that he had forced me into this unpleasant situation.

By the way ( my father in-law was in the army stationed in Hawaii at Schofield barracks when the Japanese attacked. They knew we were gonna be attacked and FDR did too but he sacrificed his navy and army just to get the lack of support to go after Japan. General Patton wanted to go after Russia knowing what they really were like and to finish them off to avoid problems later. My dad was in the U.S. army in Europe. He told me we should’ve and could’ve beat ‘em. We had the Koreans beat and backed up to China but Truman said no to both Patton and Koreas war. Here too we see what questionable president can do

I believe you’ll find throughout history the name(s) of “gods” being invoked by autocrats, authoritarians and deluded murderous traitors in their betrayal of ACTUAL LIVING (soon to be dead, usually … “in the name of >) HUMAN PEOPLE, rather than a source of wisdom to help identify and resist such traitors. It’s more often the case that universal egalitarian human reason and sympathy for our COMMON HUMANITY that serves this purpose. As for protecting us? Seeing as how there’s been so many such murderous traitorous “leaders” throughout history presumably under all these “gods’” whatchful eyes then I’d say it’s foolish to leave it up to some non-existent supernatural fairy-tale being(s) to minister to such an important task. That’s one of the main reasons to embrace democracy, rule of law and egalitarian values above all other social principles; it’s up to us to resist the temptation to FOLLOW such men and give them the institutional power they require to become the historical abominations we come to identify as “traitors to their people”. It’s not some god that makes these men, or protects us from them. It’s us. It’s up to you and to me to get off our ass and DO something when we see such crimes being enacted.
