wasn’t the traitor Quisling a Norwegian?
“...wasn’t the traitor Quisling a Norwegian?”
Yes he was. On the WWII +70 thread I just read (with the war just ended in Europe) that the Norwegian government was going through and getting all of the gold, art, etc. that had been stolen and giving it back to the rightful owners.
My dad’s cousin had been in the Norwegian underground. Hid in a pile of potatoes in the cellar when the Nazi’s came through. My dad asked him once what he had done in the underground. “Nobody will ever know - not even my family. There are still Nazis.”
Another WWII article said they were going to round up all of the Norwegian traitors and execute them. Although I think in all they only executed a dozen or so.

Yes he was, but the Norwegians think the Swedes were actually worse traitors by declaring Neutrality and then letting the Nazi to pass through.
