he was a Miltary officer from Norway. And during occupation of Norway be Germany he was the nominal head of the govt during the war.From 1942 to 1945 he served as Prime Minister of Norway, heading the Norwegian state administration jointly with the German civilian administrator Josef Terboven. His pro-Nazi puppet government, known as the Quisling regime, was dominated by ministers from Nasjonal Samling. The collaborationist government participated in Germany's genocidal Final Solution. Quisling was put on trial during the legal purge in Norway after World War II: he was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was sentenced to death. He was executed by firing squad at Akershus Fortress, Oslo, on 24 October 1945. The word "quisling" subsequently became a byword for "collaborator" or "traitor" in several languages, reflecting the very poor light in which Quisling's actions were seen, both at the time and since his death.
