Quisling biography

Since February, after the war, Quilling was shot on charges of treason. The Name Quilling has become a symbol of betrayal. Vidkun Quilling was the son of a Lutheran priest from one of the most ancient clans of Norway. His father was the country's largest demonologist, he owns the classical work of the “soul of angels”. Quilling, who graduated from brilliant grades, had a fairly successful career in the army, he was in the rank of major and in politics acted as the Minister of Defense in the Agrarian Government of Norway for the year.

From April to December, Quilling was a military attache in Petrograd, and from October to May - in Helsinki. He also worked with Fridtrof Nansen in the Soviet Union during the famine in the years. He married a Russian wife, Maria Pasechnikova, lived to a very old age and died in the city of Quilling himself held the position of leader of Nor in the party. The party’s political success was relative: in the elections of the year, three months after the founding of the party, it gained about 28 thousand votes.

In the next election of the year, the fascist party, which promoted the progerman and anti -Semitic policy, gained about 50 thousand votes. By the year, there were about 45 thousand members in the party. On the first day of the German invasion of April 9, the Norwegian government left Oslo. Quilling on the radio announced the coup and the creation of the government under his leadership, called on the Norwegians to obey the Germans and stop resistance.

However, the quisling government lasted only five days, in view of the strong anti -German sentiments and the traitor entrenched in the quisling. In order not to discredit German power, Hitler decided to dissolve such a government, and the authorities passed to the occupation forces. Only on February 1, quilling was admitted to power: Joseph Terbovon, who was appointed by Hitler by Hitler, offered Quisling the post of Minister of Norway.

During the reign of Therer, Qusling and Terboven in Norway, several significant political reforms occurred. Firstly, the “national agreement” was the only permitted party, and secondly, concentration camps for political prisoners and Jews were created, a number of additional taxes were introduced. Jews were banned from entering the country, from October to February there were mass arrests and deportation to the camps of the destruction of almost half of the entire Jewish population of Norway - this was done without the initiative from the German side.

In October, several sabotage against the Germans was committed in Trondheim. This was done by the resistance fighters [the source is not indicated day]. In response, the invaders in Trondheim announced a state of emergency. The local authorities took advantage of this and arrested all the Jewish men. Exactly a month later, women and children were gathered to a special camp, in order to transport the current Polish city-port of Shetsin to the final destination-camp of the Auschwitz for warships to the warships to Stetin during the year.

The arrest and deportation of the Jews plunged the Norway society into a state of shock. The authority of “national consent” after the mass arrests of the Jews fell so much that it caused protest reactions, and the form of civil protest came to the point that passengers left their seats on the train, not wanting to sit next to the Nazis, members of the National Consent party.

On the walls they wrote slogans like: “Norway - for the Norwegians. And let the quilling roll to hell. " Quilling was arrested on May 9 in his own mansion in Oslo. In prison, Kvisling said he considers himself a martyr for the Great Norway. He was accused of treason and shot on October 24. Shortly before the execution, Quilling compiled its genealogical tree, in which he erected his genealogy to God Odin.

Later, the name of Quisling has become a household name, and a collaborator, a traitor is used as synonyms for words. Source: Wikipedia.
