Nobody stands on principle any more.
Too bad we never did the same to the MSM whores that were in bed with Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin and Mao for 70 years.
Oops - I forget to mention the leftist academic pimps
But I had to laugh out loud at your #3 comment. That was great. I am glad to see there are so many people who see the MSM for what they are.
Good grief. The Norwegians after the war were no more tolerant than the Nazis during the war.
Ptoooey! Norwegians resisted the Nazi occupation just like Janet Jackson tried to stay decent at the Super Bowl. The French were good at conducting witch-hunts against "collaborators" (unless you happened to be someone important like Picasso) while the Americans and the British were liberating their country. That's the dominant European mindset nowadays as the Germans and the British have begun to adopt it.
"How did the Norwegians treat the thousands of traitors who made up the Quisling government?"
Bingo
Doubt it. Watch a great Max Von Sydow film, "Hamsun". There's also "The Last Lieutenant", which starts with a bang, slows down to the point where the only thing they can think to do is put in a gratuitous sex scene, and ends with a whimper. Neither film puts Norway in a very good light.
Mind you, that "Thor Espedal" character in the second film was a tough sonofabitch.
McDermott also stood with David Bonior and announced they were both "Nam Vets". In reality neither were ever in Nam. Mcdermott spent his war time nam experience in sunny California!
They would do better to be concerned with traitors in bed with Islamic fanatics.
Besides, I thought the whole Country was in bed with Quisling anyway - who cares anyway.
"Judy" of Lost in Space fame was of this background. I had a real crush on her as a kid.
Marta Kristen was Norwegian?
The 1943 movie, Edge of Darkness, is a great movie about the German occupation of Norway. Starring Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, it's more than your normal propaganda film, intense, thrilling, and deals with the subject at hand.
(Heroes Of Telemark, starring Kirk Douglas, is another movie about Norway, based on a true story of German occupation.)
She was born in Norway to, I believe, a Finnish mother and a German father. She was sent to the US as an adoptee at an early age because of the stigma associated with her birth.
