"Not traitors? Whatever happened to a fellow in Norway named Quisling?"
He went to room temperature right after WWII.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vidkun QuislingVidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling (July 18, 1887October 24, 1945) was a Norwegian fascist politician and officer. He held the office of Minister President in occupied Norway from February 1942 to the end of World War II, while the elected social democratic cabinet of Johan Nygaardsvold was exiled in London. After the war he was tried for high treason and subsequently executed by firing squad. His name has become an eponym for traitor, especially a collaborationist.[1]
