Minister of the Crown 60 6. Quislingism 67 7. The Party of National Unity 75 8. Traitor’s progress 86 9. The Consummation 94 3 Preface The world you live is an odd one when one day you find that you have written a book about a person who does not interest you in the least, and that you publish it without being able to acknowledge your indebtedness to a lot of kind people who helped you with material and advice. The only valid reason for writing a book about Quisling, especially when you are a compatriot of his, is that you feel some contemporaries deserving your attention would like you, in the absence of anyone better to shed some light on the master episode of an age of political bewilderment. The Quislings of many countries present light shed on the life and career of Vidkun Quisling. The nature of the procedures by which a home Nazi party is created and kept alive in a fundamentally democratic country, varies with the time and with the place, but the study of such procedures may profit from a knowledge of what happened in Norway. I have formed no conclusion as the political lessons to be drawn from the activities of Quisling. My self-allotted case has been to provide the reader, who may want them for his enlightenment, some new facts.

  • Angel's in Stalin's Paradise
    Excerpts from Angel’s in Stalin’s Paradise by James William Crowl 1982 University Press of America. [Transcription by The Gareth Jones Archives for educational & informational purposes only E. & O.E.. www.garethjones.org ] CHAPTER VI CONCEALING THE FAMINE, 1932-1934 Introduction The Soviet countryside neared collapse in 1932 and 1933 as a result of a famine that took a toll estimated at about five million lives, a figure that would place it among the worst such disasters in history. The 1932-1934 famine is noteworthy for reasons other than the number of casualties, however. It was perhaps the only size-able famine ever that was caused not by a natural calamity such as drought, but by the deliberate policies of the governing regime. Moreover, perhaps alone of history’s worst famines, word of it was suppressed and its existence was emphatically denied by Soviet authorities. Indeed, the Soviets mounted an intensive and remarkably successful effort to conceal the famine from the rest of the world, and the manipulation of foreign correspondents in Moscow was a significant ingredient in the success of the cover- up.1 The reason for the famine’s concealment, apparently, was to protect the goals of the Five-Year Plan, then nearing completion, and the prestige of the Soviet Union. If the industrial objectives of the plan were to be met, the Soviets had to have Western machinery. Grain exports were the chief source of capital for those imports, and, had the Kremlin acknowledged the food shortage or if the West had been aware of it, the Soviets would have been compelled to scale down their industrial program.

  • Operation Weserübung: the Invasion of Norway & Denmark
    OPERATION WESERÜBUNG: THE INVASION OF NORWAY & DENMARK DATE: APRIL 09 – JUNE 10 1940 Belligerents Norway Nazi Germany Denmark United Kingdom France Poland The WW2-era German economy relied on over 11 million tons of iron ore imported from Sweden every year. During the warm months, there was little concern regarding the transportation of the ore into Germany, as the north-south railways were clear of snow, the Swedish Baltic ports free of ice, and the narrow entrance to the Baltic Sea sealed off to British warships. In the winter, however, the Swedish ore destined for Germany was forced to take a westward overland route into Norway, where it would board sea-going freighters for a southward coast-hugging voyage. This arrangement worked for as long as Norway stayed out of the war, which the Norwegian government desperately attempted to do. The Altmark incident on 16 Feb 1940, in which Norwegian gunboats stood by and allowed a British destroyer to board a German transport, however, changed the German viewpoint. The Norwegian lack of response in this particular incident meant, in Adolf Hitler's mind, that a meek Norway could easily fall prey to an Allied invasion, which in turn would close off this important iron ore supply route. Furthermore, should the Allies embark on an invasion of Norway, it was difficult to predict whether Sweden would be included in the invasion plans as well. Hitler, therefore, decided that Germany must act first. The Western Allies had indeed been eyeing Norway for a long time, aiming to cut this very supply route.

  • Lived Ethos in Norwegian America: Rhetorical Education and Practice
    Lived Ethos in Norwegian America: Rhetorical Education and Practice DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Erika Claire Strandjord, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Nan Johnson, Advisor Dorothy Noyes James Fredal Elizabeth Weiser Copyright by Erika Claire Strandjord 2013 Abstract The rhetorical concept of ethos describes how people create character, authority, and identity in persuasive texts and acts. While ethos is usually understood as constructed in the moment, this study extends the scope of ethos to encompass everyday actions. Cultivating an ethos that is imitated and lived out in daily life and not just in textual productions means that the ethos becomes what this study calls lived ethos. This study uses rhetoric and folklore scholarship to theorize lived ethos and the rhetorical education that teaches this ethos. Furthermore, this study analyzes the rhetorical education presented by three institutions in the Norwegian-American community in order to examine how an education in lived ethos functions in the community. Chapter two explores how the fraternal organization Sons of Norway selected elements of the Norwegian and Norwegian-American past to create an admirable and imitable ethos for the present. Using archival materials that from the late years of World War I through the end of World War II, this chapter argues that Sons of Norway used exemplars to create a more-than-American identity that Norwegian Americans could generally identify with and also presented members with exemplars that spoke to the different interests and demographics in the community.
