Treatment of Norwegian Patriots after WW2

Part 2 Norwegian WW2 History Volume 2 2000
Dear Aryan Kindred During and after the series Children of war, many of my readers wrote me and discussed among themselves ‘if Norway and the Norwegians really could behave as I had described’. Yes, friends they did. When I have finished the series on the treatment of Norwegian Patriot after WW2 you will once again ask yourselves and your friends with knowledge of Scandinavia if Norway really did this? Believe me, they did - I they have been bragging about it, not the horrific treatment, but that they won the war, and brought the patriots to prison. The members of the Homefront have almost all written books about their bravery during the war and their stout behaviour during the imprisonment of the members of Nasjonal Samling, NS, in the days following May 8, 1945. These books were more realistic the first years after WW2 - meaning they told how the treated the members of NS as these were captured. The books which have been written after 1980 do not in detail describe the horrible treatment of Norwegian patriots by their enemies. To get a true detailed description of the horrible treatment which were part of the daily treatment of the patriots one has to read books written by patriots or writers who acted after hearing of the horror in the Norwegian concentration camps after WW2. Today’s letter Let me start with telling you what happened to three men on May 9, 1945. At an old respectable farm, Skallum gaard, located some 17 km west of Oslo two members of Quisling’s government and the leaders of NS in the county of Troendelag had entrenched on May 7, 1945. These three men were: Jonas Lie, son of one of Norway’s finest writers, Secretary of Police during WW2 a respected man before WW2, he was a representative of the League of Nations during the ballot regarding Saar in 1934, a very respected policeman in pre-war Norway. Sverre Riisnaes, a respected magistrate/circuit judge in pre-WW2 Norway. He one of the best law student of his class at the University of Oslo. During WW2 Riisnaes was Minister of Justice in the Norwegian patriotic government. Riisnaes had before WW2 not been a member of NS, but as all Norwegians he had respected Quisling for his achievements as Nansen’s helper and secretary during the famine in Soviet in the 20's. Riisnaes was the ideological leader of Germanische SS Norge (German SS Norway). He was the protector of all Waffen-SS men in Norway. Henrik Rogstad, before WW2 Rogstad had been a respectable leader of the youth movement of NS in Troendelag. He was found(fond) of order and respected Germany for her achievements before WW2. Late in WW2 Rogstad became Leader of the Police in all of Norway. As protection these three men had 10 former Waffen-SS volunteers - men who had been at the Eastern Front in Russia as soldiers. As the peace broke loos on May 8, 1945 the Homefront wanted to arrest all members of NS. 200 heavily armed members of the Homefront were sent to Skallum gaard to arrest Lie, Riismaes and Rogstad. They did not want to be arrested before they had negotiated why they were arrested and what was going to happen to them. There had during the last five to six weeks been rumours in the illegal press that all members of NS should be killed after the war. The three NS-men at Skallum wanted to make sure they got a fair trail and did not want to give up voluntarily. The Homefronters did not dare to approach Skallum gaard - they were afraid of the ten former Waffen-SS guards . Some of the guards had suffered injuries at during WW2 and were not fully restored as they volunteered to protect Lie, Riisnaes and Rogstad. The brave Homefronters, men who after WW2 wrote books of their activities as men of no fear, men who bragged about their war heroism ‘fighting’ Nazism in Norway did not have courage to face thirteen men - among whom were some wounded soldiers - at Skallum gaard. As the negosiation did not lead to a satisfactory solution for the three members of NS, they did agree to take their own lives. Lie and Rogstad took their own lives with their own pistols, Riisnaes who knew the Norwegian judicial system decided to play lunatic. As Lie and Rogstad had died Riisnaes gave himself up, he was treated very badly both during the transport from Skallum gaard to Oslo and during his imprisonment before he was ‘sentenced’ to stay at a lunatic asylum fir the rest of his life. Riisnaes left the lunatic asylum late in the 1950's, settled down on a farm in the forests east of the town of Kongsvinger, some 90 km north-east of Oslo, were his brother lived. Riisnaes died in 1988. One of the men who examined Riisnaes and agreed that he was a lunatic were the same men, who later said the famous Norwegian novelist Hamsun was crazy, (according to) doctor Oedegaard. Arresting Quisling Vidkun Quisling the leader of NS and Prime Minister in Norway from February 1, 1942 til May 8, 1945 was the top man on the hit-list of the Homefront. Every Homefronter wanted to be among those who should arrest him. Quisling and his wive lived at Gimle a house some 10 km east of Oslo in rural surroundings. He had 15 former Waffen-SS soldiers as his personal guards. On May 2, 1945 Quisling had issued an order to all members of NS to be calm and friendly in the times to come. After Germany had capitulated Quisling spoke on the radio and said all NS-members should remember they were Norwegians and behave accordingly. Sorry(unfortunately) for Norway, but(omit "but" here) the Homefronters did not behave in the dignified way Quisling had hoped they would and as he had told his political followers to do. The leaders of the Homefront wanted to arrest Quisling and drive him in an open truck through the street of Oslo. Quisling was not going to allow the Homefront such a ‘honour’. He started a(omit "a) negotiation(make it "negotiations") with them, but ended up in letting his chauffeur drive him to the main police office in Oslo on May 9, 45. After he had been arrested he was on display for the mob several times during the first week after arrest. Arresting other leading members of Nasjonal Samling Eivind Blehr was Minister in the Norwegian Government from February 1, 1942 to June 12, 1944. Mr Blehr was regional commissioner in Oslo in two periods during WW2, September 1, 1941 to February 44, and June 13, 44 to May 8, 45. Blehr was son of a Norwegian Prime Minister, Otto Blehr. Blehr was a very respected jurist. He had since 1905 worked partly as employee in the Ministry of Foreign Affair and as private practitioner as lawyer. Both in 1918 and during the Danzig crises he was representing Norway in international fora (forums) as an expert on international law. On May 2, 45 Blehr had moved to his Oslo-apartment from his resident at Nesoeya, some 20 km east of Oslo. At Nesoeya Blehr left his wive(wife) and two children, a girl of 4 years and her sister 1 year(old). Blehr went himself to the police and was arrested on May 8. On May 12 the Homefront came to Blehr’s resident to scare and intimidate his wife and two children. Mrs Blehr had an old car, type Mercedes, which the Homefront stole from the Blehr-apartment.The Norwegian Crown-price came from England on May 13, 45. He was driven trough Oslo in an open car - Mrs Blehr’s Mercedes. The Blehr-family never got their car back During the sommer of 45 people of the Homefront many times came to the Blehr-resident outside Oslo. Each time the(they) stole various expensive items, among other(s) a sword which Bleht had gotten ("got" may be better)as a gift from a German Barron just after WW1. Mrs Blehr was Swedish and not a member of NS, but she and the children were constantly intimidated. Even to-day both the Blehr-sister have problems due to the pursuit and the harassments from the Homefront and others ("other") idiots. After Mr Blehr had served his sentence in 1953, he and some other elderly members of NS gathered some money and engaged a very respected Swedish law-firm to look at the new Norwegian paragraphs which were used to sentenced the Norwegian members of NS. The Swedish law-firm consisted of several law-professors, the(they) condemned the paragraphs and said according to the Norwegian Constitution they were illegal and could be used to sentenced(sentence)Norwegian(s) for high treason after WW2, but first after the next war. These elderly members even started discussion with several members of the Storting (Norwegian parliament) in order to start a clean(cleanout of) all members (creating)of (omit "of")the disaster they and their family had gone through. Unfortunately for Norway the Communists and Socialists and the few Jews who sat in Storting did not want this to happened (happen)- and stoped (stopped)all thoughts of cleaning(cleaning up?or arresting?)) the NS-members. Olga Bjoner. During the 20's Mrs Bjoner started the first women-farmer-association in Norway. In the 30's she build up a strong women farmer organisation and a women('s) organisation in NS. She was the leader of NS-women('s) organisations. In 1941 she closed the "Communist operated mother-offices in Norway. These offices had operated as organisations to spread communistic policy among young women and mothers. The first rebellion and demonstration for free-abortion in the 20's had their origin in these offices. After May 45 she was imprisoned and placed on display in the female prison of Breitvet, where the warders took money to let strangers see her. Mrs Bjoner was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment. I have decided to continue the series on the treatment of Norwegian patriots after WW2. Please wait for the next letter. Heil og sael Julius |
