@@jayo3074it’s not. Stalin let Ukraine starve to the point of parents eating their children to feed Russia. One can understand the resulting resentment.
Correction: The famine mentioned at 2:45 was not in Russia but in Ukrainian Soviet Union. The Ukrainians did not want to be part of the USSR and Stalins intentional government-controlled farming methods lead to failed crops and famine. Quisling joined famous explorer and national hero Nansen who did good work there and has streets named after him. Quisling, was one of very few executed in Norway but his sympathizers and fellow Norwegian nazis were marked for life as traitors and shunned in their local communities.
Every year we hold a medieval festival on the Akershus Fortress, and there we have our crew co right next to what's called the gunpowder tower, where Quisling and other traitors who were executed after the war were held before they were executed. The gunpowder tower has been used for all sorts of things up though history, from storing gunpowder, to housing slaves, to housing holding cells for traitors who were to be executed. The soldiers who are stationed at Akershus and actually live right next to the gunpowder tower will all tell you how the place is haunted. The whole fortress. It's so cool every time we get Americans visiting the fortress, because you simple haven't got anything like our European castle fortresses in the US, and they're always so surprised and impressed over how awesome it actually is, still today. The whole fortress and the castle inside of it and everything is fully preserved and functioning to this day, and it even has or is an active military garrison, in addition to also house the stable for Oslo's police horses, several museums and a couple of venue places. It also offers a great view over the Oslo harbor and downtown Oslo. It's a very popular place, where you can go and just chill in the grass besides the old canons and have your lunch or whatever. Thank you.
I have always detested the name Quisling. My mother's parents were born in the USA but both had older brothers and sisters who were born in Norway. I am half Norwegian and would love to visit someday. My bestemor taught me a little, and I'm trying to learn the language now, but getting older so might never get there. Maybe I'll be able to speak with my ancestors and see the fjords when I pass on. 🇳🇴💕

based on the first few minutes it seems quisling did love norway and he didnt want it to become communist. the way he did it and the actions he did however are absolutely evil and unhinged. There are not words strong enough to describe how bad he was and his initial "good intentions" do NOT make up for him becoming the monster that he was
He is a good example of all those deluded fools spouting support for ethnostates these days. Entirely swayed by a delusion of where they call home (oddly not always where they are citizens or born) and not the reality of it nor the will of the people there. Some narcissistic will at work, really

In Sweden, most of the population is either quietly embarrassedx or actively ashamed, of their official neutrality during the War. That's part of the reason they recently joined NATO -- a deep sense of shame at having stood neutral on the wrong side of history.
@@markbriten6999 Mark. In the 1970ies my mother was attending some nordic political do.. During the official dinner, she was seated next to a Finnish guy and somehow they started talking about the war. My mother had been fighting with the communists against the nazis - while the Finn had been fighting with the Germans against the Soviets. Normally, she would never, ever talk to those, who had fought with the nazis. But she did make an exception with the Finns and, that evening, they could agree on one thing: They had done, what they could to fight for their country and their people.
@mochtegerndane7097 Good for her. Because Finland had every right to defend their homes against the Soviets. The Soviets were not any better than the Nazis, and I would argue just as evil as them. The Allies only tolerated them so they could all beat Germany. Otherwise I think the outcome of the war would of been a lot different
We whent fishing and we bought small fish only sadly. They are called brissling. An old couple talked from afare "Hey guys catch anything?" The idiot yelling yes we bought a bunch of Quissling.

Quisling’s siste dager. Great movie. Not much action it’s more of a “Oppenheimer” type movie with a lot of dialogue. Definitely worth watching if you’re into that kind of movie. Not sure if it’s available with English dub but probably with English subtitles since the movie is with Norwegian audio
14:00 He didnt know Norwegians very well then. Most of us cant take orders, unless we willingly let someone take command. The only way you can make us do something, is to suggest it, and only then will we consider it. Maybe we will do it, maybe we wount. Maybe we will pretend to do it. If the suggestion is to let some outsiders command us, then no. Not gonna happen.
Breivik is "just" a psychopathic massmurderer, not a Quisling? How can he be defined as a traitor? I think quisling still is synonymous with traitor, not only "was"
It is important to note that although the people were forced to stand down through what is more or less a mass hostage situation, Norwegians never stopped fighting the Germans. People stayed true and loyal to his majesty for the most part. It is awful that about 5 thousand turned traitors, and we never forgave them or their families for it. Women who went to bed with the enemy were demonized, and publicly shamed until they fled to Germany with their evil lovers.
This video neglects to mention that Quisling admired Lenin (he was a socialist, basically), but he despised Stalin, who he saw as a traitor to the cause. Quisling was always an authoritarian, socialist, or national socialist, what's the difference?
At least Philippe Petain once was a hero, or at least a leader of caliber, during the Great War. Sure, his betrayal of France was great, and he did attempt to undo its democracy, but also, he didn't take power in a coup. He was the head of French government when France surrendered. His betrayal is the many poor and undemocratic choices he made. He probably couldn't avoid all cooperation with Germany having lost a war with them. No matter who had lead the Vichy French government that person would have had to collude one way or another. Petain was partially forced into treason. Compare that to Quisling. While he had some early military service, he was mostly a failed political figure. He conspired to have Norway invaded and overthrow the legally elected government in Norway. He took power in a coup d'etat, only to fail miserably even with the Germans in power. To have any personal power at all he grasped at the crumbs thrown at him and willingly did everything the Germans wanted him to. He wasn't really forced into betraying his country as much as volunteering to do it. When Norway was invaded, this video skipped it, he held radio speeches telling the Norwegian army to surrender. The army mostly ignored him and fought on for 9 weeks, in mostly hopeless engagements, but with a few surprising victories. Quisling was a full-blooded traitor. Petain's betrayal of France is not quite in the same category of villainy as Quisling's. Petain still hopes for a future for France of sorts, and his excuse is he worked towards that future. Quisling on the other hand fully surrendered Norway's future to build his own.

I was curious about that too, since I moved to Norway and never heard that name. There were 18 people with that first name in 2010. The name hasn't been banned, but it's forbidden to name a child after anything with a negative association. So, it's practically a banned name.
@@lisabumble6419 Wow. Thank you. Guess it went the way of Judas and Adolf. Edit: I find names and onomastics fascinating; 'dead' names are particularly interesting. It takes quite a lot to erase a name, historically. As opposed to a family, a people, a country, etc. This seems incorrect.
As someone who has grown up in Norway my whole life, I haven't seen a single person with that name. It's been 80 years anyway, so it's probably both a name that's fallen out of fashion and because of Quisling being a traitor.
The British kidnapped 15 Norwegian civilians, mostly older, in the "heroic" raid in March 1941 that you are describing, ruthlessly chasing and imprisoning them because they were members of NS. In Øksfjord, the "heroic" commados also killed a completely innocent Norwegian woman.
All my grandparents suffered under him too. My 100 year old grandfather is thankfully better taken care of these days, then when he had to do forced labor during the war.

It's interesting to see The Passion of beliefs of people at this time. Wall in retrospect communism was shown to fail, at the time those supporting it seem to do so out of a genuine love for humanity and hope for a better tomorrow. Meanwhile, it's a bit more mystifying what the followers of fascism we're thinking. If you were an aristocrat or a member of royalty it's easy to see why you might support fascism but the vast number of poor and everyday people that supported it did so at their own detriment. It's like that old notion that "you can always pay one half of the poor to kill the other half''...…it seemed a party filled with people desperately wanting to be viewed as better than everyone else even though they were born into the same economic/social population as those they loathed. They were very much traitors to their own kind, filled with terrible self-hatred and the same pawns of the same Machiavellian techniques that the aristocratic class has used against their fellow humans since long before The Prince had even been published
love how this british documentary tries to paint the succes of the resistance movement as something they built, many of the soldiers were veterans from the finish-soviet war where they volunteered. also again resistance never stopped, ALOT of people from that generation had secret radioes in their houses hidden away.
Denmark had their own govnt, navy .. police etc until 1943 .. then realized better join the winning side .. now they help Ukraine & Norway could do more.
I saw the movie and thougt Quisling had plans to go in allianse with the germans..Just to lead them to North.Norway so that the Bosjevics could fight with them there. Then many norwegian soldiers could be spared Excuse me..only thoughts and fantasi.. but could it be reality...?

I bet he regrets standing down when he sees the state of Norway in 2024. Slaves of the ceo-nis-ts while their people are being... "changed" and no one does anything to stop it!
I have no love for traitors either, but he was right to say that Norway should be worried about the influence of communism/far left political ideologies in general. Just look at our the direction our country has gone in over the years..
@@Barbarossa_F 😂 Bro really, is it the "corrupt" ones in charge, their stupid policies or lies? Oh wait that could fit almost every countrys government 😬
Or is this a "look at you, your country is socialist" kind of american statement? 😂
@@Barbarossa_FLet me guess, you think since we're socialist that we're basically commies? 😮
Or is this a genuine critizism of how stupid/corrupt/self obsessed the people in charge are, because that could be said about almost any government 😅
Sounds a lot Mussolini… picked the wrong side😢 History is unforgiving.
Out of curiosity, how many Norwegians have the name 'Vidkun' these days?
I was curious about that too, since I moved to Norway and never heard that name. There were 18 people with that first name in 2010. The name hasn't been banned, but it's forbidden to name a child after anything with a negative association. So, it's practically a banned name.
@@lisabumble6419 Wow. Thank you. Guess it went the way of Judas and Adolf.
Edit: I find names and onomastics fascinating; 'dead' names are particularly interesting. It takes quite a lot to erase a name, historically. As opposed to a family, a people, a country, etc. This seems incorrect.
As someone who has grown up in Norway my whole life, I haven't seen a single person with that name. It's been 80 years anyway, so it's probably both a name that's fallen out of fashion and because of Quisling being a traitor.
According to the statistics bureau the count is at 9 people named Vidkun. I suspect all of them were.born before 09.04.1940.
@@JulianSildenLanglo Thank you!
He is bad as Yoon Suk Yeol the Korean version of him
The British kidnapped 15 Norwegian civilians, mostly older, in the "heroic" raid in March 1941 that you are describing, ruthlessly chasing and imprisoning them because they were members of NS. In Øksfjord, the "heroic" commados also killed a completely innocent Norwegian woman.
Whataboutism 🥱
So annoying they blur stuff out. We're adults so how about you let us see stuff that might be distressing.
If not they may be hit by UA-cam police.
UA-cam is a garbage platform and simply doesn’t allow it.
Dude missed his calling.
34,53 : Rinnan. Evil. sadistic. one of te worst traitors.
my step mother suffered under this man! An american, she told me about him.
All my grandparents suffered under him too. My 100 year old grandfather is thankfully better taken care of these days, then when he had to do forced labor during the war. I stand ready to prevent my own son to ever have to live with ration cards, but to eat his fill for as long as I live to protect him.
@@elvenkind6072: Thank you Elven, We Celebrate You! 🥰
The occupation of Norway was a battle between the Germany and England.. Germany just beat the English to it!!
If Quisling had been defense minister, why didn't the German navy know about the torpedo battery in the Oslofjord?
The Nowegian arch-traitor and poster boy for the term 'landssviker' (national traitor)
Little known fact: Vidkun Quisling actually saved the lives of lots of norwegians that Terboven just wanted to kill on just a fragment of suspiscion.
I think .. this is a world thing.. I can dissapoint.. or not worthy the trust given to me. But to betray is really bad. I think all over the world .. its a no no no
When he let Jews got taken that’s when he says «Now he sold his soul», I mean what about when he sold his entire country for power? Why the discrimination? He sold his soul when he first visited Germany
Are you wiling to take that risk
Today we have a updated term for traitor. The new term is Vedum. Just as big of a traitor as this guy.
Remember he with Fritjof Nansen ,the greates nobil award recipient,they help lot of the hunger in Ukraine,caused by ussr....3million dead Ukranins thanks to Stalin😢😢😢😢😢
How incredibly appropriate to see a Trump commercial pop up while watching this!
I genuinely have no idea why Americans see their political parties as differing in this way.
Trump is the complete opposite of this.. everything portrayed in this video is in line with democrats, Biden, Kamala, Obama and the far left extremists in American government.
Smartest American:
yes you have been programmed quite well to dislike him
@@Cobbido serial criminal, nepotism, exploiting the office for self-enrichment, fascist rhetoric, big genocidal plans, and the stupidest economic plans, bound to lead to a massive recession. I mean, it is nice that you like him and find him charming and all, and it is fine that you don't like Biden or Harris (most people don't), but let's look at the policy, not whoever represents what you think is cool.
Other countries France, Poland etc had more successful Quislings. Check it out.
Yea they did....lol
England would have had more if invaded.
Read the fawning obituaries of Oswald Mosley
Grandfather to George Bush jr was one of the Quislings in USA..
Quisling e' stato un mediatore culturale. Ed ha risparmiato tante sofferenze al popolo.
He sounds like a perfect fascist! Contradictions!

It's interesting to see The Passion of beliefs of people at this time. Wall in retrospect communism was shown to fail, at the time those supporting it seem to do so out of a genuine love for humanity and hope for a better tomorrow. Meanwhile, it's a bit more mystifying what the followers of fascism we're thinking. If you were an aristocrat or a member of royalty it's easy to see why you might support fascism but the vast number of poor and everyday people that supported it did so at their own detriment. It's like that old notion that "you can always pay one half of the poor to kill the other half''...…it seemed a party filled with people desperately wanting to be viewed as better than everyone else even though they were born into the same economic/social population as those they loathed. They were very much traitors to their own kind, filled with terrible self-hatred and the same pawns of the same Machiavellian techniques that the aristocratic class has used against their fellow humans since long before The Prince had even been published
love how this british documentary tries to paint the succes of the resistance movement as something they built, many of the soldiers were veterans from the finish-soviet war where they volunteered. also again resistance never stopped, ALOT of people from that generation had secret radioes in their houses hidden away.
I object to the censorship through blurring of images.
Let's see how many Russian supporting Quislings living in the west comes out in the comments section here.

Denmark had their own govnt, navy .. police etc until 1943 .. then realized better join the winning side .. now they help Ukraine & Norway could do more.
Dafuq - Norway does just as much as denmark
Norway never capitulated to Germany , as Denmark did, and thus became a member of the victory club
Yes he did Treason
Soooo you brushed over what Stalin actually did in The UKRAINE … of course he helped the Nazis … anyone who saw what Stalin did to so many would.
Who could be a bigger Quisling than DONALD TRUMP?
Kier stammer fits the bill.
@@stevebutler6328
Don't forget about Biden, Harris, and Walz.
Then there is Obama, the Clinton's, plus Pelosi and Schumer.

A fine chap, that Mr Quisling. Yes, a fine fellow indeed.
Why the self censoring?
Probably to avoid UA-cam policing.
Kinda feels like you tried to make his story more intriguing than it really was.
I saw the movie and thougt Quisling had plans to go in allianse with the germans..Just to lead them to North.Norway so that the Bosjevics could fight with them there. Then many norwegian soldiers could be spared
Excuse me..only thoughts and fantasi.. but could it be reality...?
✨🏴✨🥰✨👍✨♥️✨🤗✨.
We all know the origin of 'Q' now.
In the USA, the new word for traitor is Trumper.
Lmao no it dosent
You like Kamala “lock up black people while i pretend to be middle class” Harris?😂
Remember when we were saying joe Bidens brain was mush and all of you said “nuh uh joe biden is strong and smart” and now our president is a vegetable 😂
Idiot!
@@broncoteno7181 People don't have to like her, or even approve of her, to believe that supporting someone who openly supports and promotes fascist ideas is a bad idea. She's simply the lesser of two evils, that doesn't make her good. Just the less-bad of the two bad choices our corrupt 2-party system lets us have. (I'm an Independent who only votes R these days when they only support gun rights and leave abortion and civil rights alone.) And I didn't like or approve of Biden either. But again, lesser of two evils. *sigh*
