Vidkun Quisling: The Infamous Norwegian Traitor Executed By His Own People
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2024
- In WW2 Vidkun Quisling collaborated with Nazi Germany to seize power in his home country of Norway. His name is so closely associated with betrayal that his second name became slang for traitor in several languages. His despicable actions sent his own countrymen to the grave but by the end of the war would see him executed.

*In Norway, if you betray someone, people may say you're doing "A Quisling." So, his betrayal still holds stigma.*
Quisling has been adopted as an English word too, used in Britain and the US. It’ll never take the place of Benedict Arnold in the states though.
Not a much used expression in Norway.
Benedict Arnold was a great man, who saw the evils of the regime he worked for, and came over to the light. Buried in St. Marys at Chelsea.
@@andrewemery4272 I agree, and then for some reason he sold out and went to Britain anyway.
All over Balkan as well
When I hear the narrator's voice, I know that I'm about to learn interesting facts. This channel is consistently excellent.
Quisling is a prime example of someone who should have stayed far away from politics.....
Reminds me of trump.

"One would like to be both the one and the other but because it is difficult to combine them it is far better to be feared than loved if you cannot be both"- Machiavelli
However,if you are feared, you run the risk of the fight instinct.
Oh goody, an internet tough guy
But wasn't Machiavelli being sarcastic in that whole thing? I thought it was meant as a "what not to do" guide and people took it seriously by mistake.
No one feared Quisling. He was a clown.

TERRIFIC SHOW ... THANKS FOR POSTING
I'd like to see a deep dive on Denmark as well.I don't understand why the Scandinavians always get a pass in this time in history.
Well Norway and Denmark fight against the Nazis. Finland sided with them because they were invaded by the USSR.
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.
@@ineedabetterusername7424 And they made a lot of money.
@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
Quisling the Norwegian Judas Iscariot and Brutus😂
Never heard about him before , thanks
I suppose "being a Quisling" means being a traitor in just about every european language. Probably some non-european ones, too.
We went to Norway for Cold Weather Survival training. -USMC
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.
Excellent show.
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?
Quisling.. a verb and a noun (betray and traitor)
Too many damned adverts. They spoil what would otherwise be a decent documentary.
A feature of evil people is their denial,
Han såg det inte komma.....
This fellow was something of a rogue
He sounds like a perfect fascist! Contradictions!
"I have left the outsiders i am a rougue judge me now for who am or I'm to be blame for a crime i didn't commit"-kovu the lion king 2
Here in Sweden, his name is still synonymous with traitor, interesting documentary are you thought that he led the most closer to a national Socialist party? When do your math invaded and was kind of selected not that he was this active in the role as a traitor
13:47 hey that’s Flekkefjord my farther was born there his mothers uncle helped hide Gunvald tornstad from Gestapo in a sheep barn near my grandfathers house
Sounds a lot Mussolini… picked the wrong side😢 History is unforgiving.
🤦🏼♂️😩.......poor Quisling lol! This fella is paying for his previous ancestral Sins stretching back 3-4 generations!!!
?
He was such a Quisling. 😅
Let's see how many Russian supporting Quislings living in the west comes out in the comments section here.
A fine chap, that Mr Quisling. Yes, a fine fellow indeed.
Other countries France, Poland etc had more successful Quislings. Check it out.
Yea they did....lol
Quisling wanted to be what Mannerheim was.
We all know the origin of 'Q' now.
This is academic history, which means, it rarely touches on the truth and that so much is purposely hidden, go do your own research and don't be spoon fed bs .
His picture he does resemble old Adolph a bit.
Please do not use a.i. to read the sscript !I love your content,but I am not going to be a fan if this changes.
Distant cousin of mine. Nothing to brag about
I find it impossible to watch a video that distorts the screen! Bye
See you later david
Ta ta.
How is it distorted? You know you can change the picture ratio in the settings?
Commietube cares about your sensitivities and about YOU!!!😜
Yes, if you cannot see dead bodies you're so disappointed. You might want to give your head a shake.
censor stories strikes again
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*
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.
Musk is a quisling?
I think so.
Är du helt knäpp eller sosse?
And the worst part here in Norway we have a person that's name is even MORE synonymous whit Traitor today in 2024... and its Bruntland !!!!!
Churchill was a fellow charlatan.
Why would you say that!!....jw??
@@charliemunk2947 he was the pug-faced drunkard who masterminded the Bengal famine
23:45 Leningrad WAS on the Finnish front. Have you ever seen a map of Finland's old borders? And of course you butchered most Norwegian words.
42:25 And again: Terboven blew himself up using a box of 50 kg of dynamite. You will find it at Wikipedia in English, German and Norwegian. It is also showed in the film about Knut Hamsun with Max von Sydow playing Hamsun. Really bad research.
And of course only a British person would think that the racist, misogynist, anti-socialist war criminal Churchill was much better than the Nazis.
Norwegian’s South of Gulf of Finland. Leningrad and to the black sea
@@454FatJack OK, but there are still many errors in the video.
I give you that Churchill was all those things and many more,although he was what the UK needed at the time a dictator to beat a dictator.He was voted out straight after the war.I have had the privilege of growing up surrounded by grandparents,uncles ,aunts etc who remember that time from many angles,they all respected what he did ,they didn't like him.
@@lisathomas627 That was very well spoken.
Not geopolitically
Omg the British were so dumb its amazing they have survived this long 😂
I guess your nation is super clever then. And what would this nation be I wonder?
@@Coolagreen16 the clever country that sold weapons and supplies to both sides. The country that then came in and saved you. The country that left your dumb monarchy and became the most powerful country in the world ever. Say the name.
@@broncoteno7181 Well, if it's the USA, then you really do represent them well, obnoxious bighead that you are. Btw I'm an Irish citizen. Didn't Britain defeat you in the war of 1812, invaded you and burnt your Whitehouse to the ground? You give your country a bad name. No wonder Americans (USA) are generally disliked.
He just wanted to save them😢
