|
- Quisling is the surname of Vidkun Quisling the leader of the Norwegian fascist party Nasjonal Samling (NS) and a staunch ally of Nazi Germany during World War II. He was executed by firing squad for his crimes.
- Quisling in modern English has taken on the meaning of any person who is a traitor to their country or collaborates with their country's traditional enemies based on the actions and name of the original "Quisling", Vidkun Quisling himself, because he is considered a traitor to Norway and a collaborator with the Nazis.
