A True crime Podcast
In this gripping episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson uncovers the shocking crimes of Vidkun Quisling — the Norwegian military officer turned Nazi collaborator whose name became the global synonym for “traitor.” From his secret meetings with Adolf Hitler and intelligence passed to German forces, to his infamous radio coup on the night of the 1940 invasion, Quisling didn’t just side with the enemy — he actively helped deliver his own country into Nazi hands. As Minister President of the puppet regime, he enabled the persecution and deportation of Norway’s Jewish population to Auschwitz, crushed the resistance with Gestapo assistance, and enriched himself through theft and embezzlement. Alexander Lawson traces Quisling’s rise from decorated soldier to despised war criminal, culminating in his dramatic 1945 trial and execution by firing squad at Akershus Fortress. This is the true story of ambition, ideology, and ultimate betrayal that still echoes today. A chilling true crime tale from World War II that explores espionage, treason, and the human cost of collaboration. Perfect for fans of dark history and wartime atrocities.
