Unique Quisling interview found


A Norwegian newspaper has disclosed the only known interview given by Maria Quisling after the execution of her husband, Vidkun Quisling, the man whose name has become synonymous with national treason.

The interview was begun with the American journalist Ron Laytner for the American magazine Reader's Digest in 1970. It was never printed.

Laytner remembers having had the help of Vidkun Quisling biographer Ralph Hewins in forming the questions, but was forced to abandon the project while awaiting answers from Maria. Now the newspaper Telemarksavisa has printed the interview after having seen Quisling's widow's answers via her trustee and executor, Finn Thrana.

Maria Quisling explained her husband's life and background, and told a bit about their life together. She said her husband had been a brave man who was ready and willing to sacrifice his life for his people.


"I believe my husband is a martyr and not a traitor. He loved his country and his people more than his own life," Maria Quisling said in the Telemarksavisa report.


She also quoted a letter Vidkun Quisling wrote to his brother just ten days before his execution.

"It is strange and tragic that it should go like this. But it surely has its deeper meaning. It must have, when I, who have worked and fought so hard for Norway's cause, should suffer such frighteningly unjust treatment."

Laytner told Telemarksavisa that he remembered his meeting with Maria Quisling, and that she had been protected by a group of personal guards.

"They were tough guys, I understood they were ex-storm troopers. Maria Quisling must have been very vulnerable, even then," Laytner told Telemarksavisa.

He delivered the questions and remembers vividly the sight that met his eyes when he first entered the apartment - Quisling and Hitler's portraits side by side on the wall, with a burning candle on a kind of altar under each picture.

Normally the interview, the only one Marina Quisling ever gave, would have been a bombshell. The publishing magazine would have sold a lot of extra copies. But the jews decided we weren't allowed to read it, so we couldn't.

I love this picture. She has lost everything: her husband, the war, her Leader...

But she is still unbroken. Look at her eyes.

My Norwegian friend Ole Kluwer's father supported Quisling. As a child he had to pay the price .

After the war he was demonised for having national socialist parents as had I.

Ole's website is of relevance to all who are interested in the Nasjonal Samlung, Vidkun Quisling's party and in the history of its supporters>

many of the 'nazi children' of Europe survived and have thrived in adversity: not least due to superior genetics and inherited traits.

When I read about how the German kids in Norway were treated after the war it makes me shiver of rage.

It was the lowest possible of the disgusting Norwegian lemmings to take out their revenge on innocent children.

Thanks to Kluwer's group the NS children were written back into the Norwegian History from which they had been forced out.

A book was published in 1993 with the title "The Boy from Gimle". In Norse mythology the Gods lived in the castle "Gimle".

Vidkun Quisling's residence on the peninsula Bygdøy in the inner Oslo fjord also had this name. The dominating building on a basis of rustic granite heaves upwards ending in a heavy romanesque tower.

Around seventy National Socialist children are mentioned with their real names in his book.

In "The Boy from Gimle" the NS movement in Norway is explained in the context of the old landowner families' philosophy and their striving for defending Norwegian agrarian traditions in times when the Norwegian Labour Party progressed with their slogans for the "dictatorship of the proletariat" and the "extermination of the bourgeoisie".

"The pretended Norwegian Fascism, the NS movement, is not a diabolic ideology imported from the Continent. The (NS) movement is rooted in our country's (Norway's)own history. If a devil has sneaked within, it undoubtfully is a good old Norwegian troll. "

Vidkun Quisling could have had the U-boat ride out. He chose death instead of escape. I consider that heroic, although he might have felt death was better than leaving his country and hiding in South America for the rest of his life.

Maria Quisling was impressive. She would not have run either.

Tormented ’war children’ take Norway to court

Children born to Norwegian mothers and German fathers during Germany’s occupation of Norway in World War II claim they’ve suffered a lifetime of discrimination, ill treatment and, often, abuse. Many have horrifying memories, and they’re suing the Norwegian government for failing to protect their rights.

The attorney for one group of seven children who were tormented both during and after the war has now secured a hearing at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. ”For the first time, I’m optimistic on behalf of the ’war children’,” lawyer Randi Spydevold told newspaper Aftenposten.

Called krigsbarna or, more derogatorily, tyskerungene in Norway, the children generally were the otherwise innocent products of relationships between Norwegian women and German soldiers or officers stationed in Norway during the Nazi occupation. Some of the children were taken from their Norwegian mothers and sent to the families of their fathers in Germany. Several of these were later found by the Red Cross and returned to Norway after the war.

The post-war years turned into a nightmare for many of the children. More than 100 later filed suit against the state, claiming they had been physically and mentally abused in Norwegian schools, shunned and bullied by teachers, molested in orphanages, mistreated by public health personnel and even branded as mentally retarded or having ”bad genes” and committed to psychiatric institutions where they suffered more abuse.

Horrifying tales
Those returned to their mothers were often abused by their Norwegian stepfathers, or by foster families to which they assigned by the state. Some of their stories are horrifying.

Gerd Synnøve Andersen of Sarpsborg, for example, says she was often washed with boiling hot water in an orphanage after being told that was the only way to wash ”German children with greasy hair.” Andersen claims she was routinely beaten and sexually molested by a teacher in the sixth grade. A pastor with the state church later recommended she be sterilized.

Another man from the mountain community of Romsdal says he was moved around to 20 various orphanages after the war, where he was locked in closets because he ”stank,” scrubbed with ammonia and raped by older boys at a school with a teacher’s approval.

’Never knew’
The children, now all in their late 50s or 60s, claim the Norwegian government violated their human rights by failing to protect them, often from abusers who were public employees. They have lost all court appeals in Norway, both in Oslo City Court, the state Appeals Court and Norway’s highest court. Thus the appeal to Strasbourg.

Government lawyers claim Norwegian authorities never knew about the abuse of the children after the war, and that there’s no foundation for their claims. ”That’s like refusing to acknowledge that gas chambers could be found during the war,” retorts lawyer Spydevold.

Government defense attorneys also have claimed their complaints are too old to be tried in court. The Norwegian parliament, meanwhile, has authorized some compensation to the now-grown children, but with a maximum of NOK 20,000 (about USD 3,000).

Especially when they didn't have the balls to resist the Germans.
