During World War II, some Norwegians collaborated with the occupying German forces. These individuals, known as Norwegian Collaborators, supported the Nazis in various ways, including providing information, assisting in the administration of occupied territories, and participating in military operations. Their actions were often motivated by personal gain, political beliefs, or coercion. The collaboration led to significant controversy and division within Norway after the war. Many collaborators faced legal repercussions, and the term has since carried a negative connotation. The legacy of Norwegian Collaborators remains a sensitive topic in discussions about national identity and wartime morality in Norway.
