Russland Und Wir (Russia And Us) Vidkun Quisling German First Edition

Description: Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling (18 July 1887-24 October 1945) was a Norwegian military officer, politician, and Nazi collaborator who nominally headed the government of Norway during the occupation of the country by Nazi Germany during World War II. He first came to international prominence organizing humanitarian relief during the Russian famine of 1921. He was posted as a Norwegian diplomat to the Soviet Union, and for some time also managed British diplomatic affairs there. He returned to Norway in 1929, and served as Minister of Defence in the governments of Peder Kolstad (1931-32) and Jens Hundseid (1932-33). In 1933, Quisling founded the fascist party Nasjonal Samling. His party failed to win any seats in the Storting and by 1940 it was little more than peripheral. On 9 April 1940, with the German invasion of Norway in progress, he attempted to seize power in the world's first radio- broadcast coup d'état, but failed after the Germans refused to support his government. From 1942 to 1945 he served as Prime Minister of Norway, heading the Norwegian state administration jointly with the German civilian administrator Josef Terboven. Quisling was put on trial after World War II. He was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was executed. His new book, Russia and Ourselves (Norwegian: Russland og vi), which was serialized in Tidens Tegn during the autumn of 1930.[44] Advocating war against Bolshevism, the openly racist book catapulted Quisling into the political limelight. Despite his earlier ambivalence, he took up a seat on the Oslo board of the previously Nansen-led Fatherland League. Meanwhile, he and Prytz founded a new political movement, Nordisk folkereisning i Norge, or "Nordic popular rising in Norway," with a central committee of 31 and Quisling as its fører - a one-man executive committee - though Quisling seemed to have had no particular attachment to the term. The first meeting of the league took place on 17 March 1931, stating the purpose of the movement was to "eliminate the imported and depraved communist insurgency.".
