What the traitor Quisling did not consider was the people's love of their king. They would never have given him up and turned to communism as the Russians did. Haakon VII (b. 3 August 1872 - d. 21 September 1957) was King of Norway from 18 November 1905 until his death in 1957. (I was at the airport in London, waiting for a plane back to Australia when the message about his demise came over the PA system). The future Haakon VII was born in Copenhagen as Prince Carl of Denmark. He was the second son of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark (later King Frederick VIII and Queen Louise). Prince Carl was educated at the Royal Danish Naval Academy and served in the Royal Danish Navy. After the 1905 dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway, he was offered the Norwegian crown. Following a November plebiscite, he accepted the offer and was formally elected king of Norway by the Storting. He took the Old Norse name Haakon and ascended to the throne as Haakon VII, becoming the first independent Norwegian monarch since Olaf II in 1387. He arrived in Oslo with his son Olav on his arm. Crown Prince Olav became King Olav V after the death of his father, the king.

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.
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. 🇳🇴💕

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.
My brother in Christ, there was a famine in all of the Soviet Union and not just Ukraine. What a shock. Like come on, it's not good that people had their food stripped from them, but it's not like they were living in the region that provided the most of the food for the entirety of the USSR like none other, but right, let them keep all of it and let the rest of the union starve.

Women who went to bed with the enemy were demonized, and publicly shamed until they fled to Germany with their evil lovers.

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.

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?
I am 56 years old, and have never even thought of svearing to some as serious as an something near "Qusling" would have transferred into todays world.. Dont know if that makes any sense..
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.
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
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
Being a quisling isn't simplly being a traitor, its being a traitor to ones country ( Landsforeder ) As a Norwegian i hold no love for him, but i'll give him credit as he told his forces to stand down and don't resist the allies as they came to liberate Norway, he knew he was on the loosing side and he didn't want to see Norway end up in a civil war because of him
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!

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.
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
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😢😢😢😢😢
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.
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.

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
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.

*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.

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.
tull… 🙄
Eneste grunnen folk gjorde nokka som helst for lands samfunnet på den tida va om kongen ville det… så lenge man ikke støtta NS
His picture he does resemble old Adolph a bit.
A *blonde* Adolf and still Terboven didn't like him, SMH
This fellow was something of a rogue
I believe he is one of only two people who were sentenced to death in Norway
Did they revoke his CBE?
Yes

Quisling has become a common noun meaning "traitor"!
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. "They whent what!?" He yells "quissling! Quissling can't you here?!" I tried walking over to them explaining but they whent fast and we're freaked out. Word has a heck of a lot of stigma especially with older people.
Terbowen write in his diaris, how much he hated Qusling
He is bad as Yoon Suk Yeol the Korean version of him
Never heard about him before , thanks
If Quisling had been defense minister, why didn't the German navy know about the torpedo battery in the Oslofjord?
Han såg det inte komma.....

"But the thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies"-Lawkeeper Equity Mlp Ace Attorney EOJ
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?
Many Nazis are saying this
The former fights FOR ceeo-in-sm while the latter fights AGAINST them.
BIG difference.

@@VulpesInculta-h2b lol
what a horribly stupid take
We got a new Quisling in Norway now. Hes called Jonas Gahr Støre, our prime minister...
Today we have a updated term for traitor. The new term is Vedum. Just as big of a traitor as this guy.
43:08 lol, they use a piece of OST from the game Medievil as background music
I am 56 years old, and have never even thought of svearing to some as serious as an something near "Qusling" would have transferred into todays world.. Dont know if that makes any sense..
So many ppl have made this wrong.
Really, really wrong.
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.

Are you wiling to take that risk

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
Learn to spell swede
Dude missed his calling.
Quisling is synonyms with Arnold
Way to go guy's! U forever sullied your family's name's 😢💯
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
He was such a Quisling. 😅
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.
Being a quisling isn't simplly being a traitor, its being a traitor to ones country ( Landsforeder )
As a Norwegian i hold no love for him, but i'll give him credit as he told his forces to stand down and don't resist the allies as they came to liberate Norway, he knew he was on the loosing side and he didn't want to see Norway end up in a civil war because of him
He was a self Centered Traitor, trying to hide himself amongst the True and Honest Norwegian Patriots.
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 😬

The Frenchman who ran Vichy France....Philippe Patain!
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.
Quisling the Norwegian Judas Iscariot and Brutus😂
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 RUclips police.
RUclips is a garbage platform and simply doesn’t allow it.
Ondeste menn i den historien
Quisling e' stato un mediatore culturale. Ed ha risparmiato tante sofferenze al popolo.
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
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😢😢😢😢😢
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 🥱
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.
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:

@@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.
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
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..
