Quisling
Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian military officer and politician who became infamous for his collaboration with Nazi Germany during World War II. His name has become synonymous with treason and betrayal, particularly due to his role in the establishment of a puppet government in Norway after the German invasion in 1940. Prior to his notoriety, Quisling was involved in nationalist and far-right politics, advocating for Norwegian interests and engaging in anti-communist activities.
