Quisling
– a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country.
The term ‘quisling’ originated in Norway in 1933. Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian military officer and politician who nominally headed the government of Norway during the occupation of the country by Nazi Germany during World War 2.
He was put on trial in Norway charged with embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian. He was sentenced to death and killed by firing squad on 24th October, 1945
Denouncing the “QUISLINGS” of Europe
Vidkun Quisling
The Norwegian adventurer who gave the world a new word. He is the original Quisling, the standard pattern of Nazi agent and tool who works for disintegration inside a country. After years in Russia, he tried to found a Red Guard in Norway. Now he is the Nazi’s big failure as Gauleilter in Oslo.
