2002 · 140 min · Documentary, War, History

For the first time, some of Vidkun Quisling's closest followers as well as his opponents come forward and describe their impressions of the Norwegian Nazi leader. The documentary uses unique archive material; films, photos, secret documents, letters and facsimiles. Quisling's own words are also presented to give a deeper profile of the man who still is a Norwegian riddle.
