You were just born at the wrong time florelius. There was a fella called Quisling who gave some great speeches on the need for peace and ending UK/French imperialist warmongering. He had some help from the Nazis who had established Norwegian-German “friendship” socieities throughout your land. Here’s what the warmongering imperialist Winston Churchill had to say:
'For many generations Norway, with its homely, rugged population engaged in trade, shipping, fishing, and agriculture, had stood outside the turmoil of world politics. Far off were the days when the Vikings had sallied forth to conquor or ravage a large part of the then known world. A large proportion of the people had hitherto thought of neutrality and neutrality alone. A tiny army and a population with no desires except to live peaceably in their own mountainous and semi-Arctic country now fell victims to the new German aggression.
It had been the policy of Germany for many years to profess cordial sympathy and friendship for Norway. After the previous war some thousands of German children had found food and shelter with the Norwegians. These had now grown up in Germany, and many of them were ardent Nazis. There was also the Major Quisling, who with a handful of young men had aped and reproduced in Norway on an insignificant scale the Fascist movement. For some years past Nordic meetings had been arranged in Germany to which large numbers of Norwegians had been invited. German lecturers, actors, singers, and men of science had visited Norway in the promotion of a common culture. All this had been woven into the texture of the Hitlerite military plan, and a widely-scattered internal pro-German diplomatic or consular service, every German purchasing agency, played its part under directions from the German Legation in Oslo. The deed of infamy and treachery now performed may take its place with the Sicilian Vespers and the massacre of St. Bartholomew. The President of the Norwegian Parliament, Carl Hambro, has written:
In the case of Norway the Germans under the mask of friendship tried to extinguish the nation in one dark night, silently, murderously…without any warning given. What stupified the Norwegians more than the act of aggression itself was the national realisation that a great Power, for years professing its friendship, suddenly appeared as a deadly enemy, and that men and women with whom one had had intimate business or professional relations, who had been cordially welcomed in one’s home, were spies and agents of destruction. More than by the violation of treaties and every international obligation, the people of Norway were dazed to find that for years their German friends had been elaborating the most detailed plans for the invasion and subsequent enslaving of their country.’
Yes, you’d like Quisling’s peace speeches.
Yes, the Germans had an ‘ally’ on the far-left between September 1939 and June 1941. They were both very effective at starting ‘peace’ parties in other countries across Europe. There were many in Britain like the “Peace Society” - their main platform was to stop the warmongers in Stanley Baldwin’s and Chamberlain’s administrations from re-arming and threatening peace-loving Germany. Many of them had German names and promoted “peace” between Britain and Germany and started Anglo-German “friendship” societies. They helped expose the armaments industry profiteering which they believed was controled by Jews and Freemasons as was the rest of Europe apparently. Yes, you’d like Quisling my friend.
