Nazi Collaborators
Vidkun Quisling
S1 E8:
Quisling was leader of the Norwegian Fascist Party Nasjional Samling. In September 1939 he realised that Hitler's war plans needed Norway. So he travelled to Berlin, met the Fuhrer and did a deal that would allow the Nazis to keep a military presence in Norway. In return, he believed Hitler would make him the 'Norwegian Fuhrer'. He even oversaw the execution of dissenters and collaborated in the deportation to Auschwitz of Norwegian Jews. But, Quisling could never justify his treachery or what he did under the Nazis. For this, he would pay with his life.
