Collaborationist Government
In Norway, the national government, headed by Vidkun Quisling, was installed by the Germans as a puppet regime during the occupation, while king Haakon VII and the previous government were in exile. He encouraged Norwegians to serve as volunteers in the Waffen-SS, collaborating in the deportation of Jews, and was responsible for the executions of Norwegian patriots.
About 45,000 Norwegian collaborators joined the pro-Nazi party Nasjonal Samling (National Union), and some police units helped arrest many of Norway's Jews. It had very little support among the population at large and Norway was one of few countries where resistance during World War II was widespread before the turning point of the war in 1942/43. After the war, Quisling and other collaborators were executed. Quisling's name has become an international eponym for traitor.
