The Heritage We Are Fighting For: "Democracy and Lutheran Christianity." Civil Resistance, Christian Belief, and the Norwegian School during Nazi Occupation
Civil resistance, especially the so-called school struggle, was the most successful resistance to the Nazi occupation regime in Norway. Despite this recognition, several aspects remain under-researched and lack comprehensive analysis. While the overarching developments of the school struggle are well documented, its ideological motives have received far less attention. This is particularly true with regard to Christian values, which were part of …
The rise and impact of conspiracist antisemitism: An Introduction
This special issue examines conspiracist antisemitic print culture in the Nordic countries from the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. To contrast the universal patterns and particularities of the cases of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the issue includes two contributions analysing Spain and Britain. Together, the articles provide empirical in-depth knowledge of the character and dissemination of conspiraci…
'The apocalyptic battle': Conspiracist antisemitism in Norway during the German occupation
Conspiracist antisemitism was an integral part of national-socialist propaganda in Norway between 1940 and 1945. An imaginary entity called ‘International Jewry’ was represented as the sinister force behind phenomena such as Communism, liberalism, capitalism and cultural decadence. This article analyses the argumentation and functions of conspiracist antisemitism as it was disseminated by three journals in Nazi-occupied Norway: the Norwegian edit…

Nordic Fascism: Fragments of an Entangled History
Navigating troubled waters: Collaboration and resistance in state institutions in Nazi-occupied Norway
This article examines and compares the patterns of collaboration and resistance in the school sector, the police, and the ministerial bureaucracy, which experienced very different developments during the German occupation of Norway. While teachers created a powerful resistance movement, the police became a useful tool for the occupier. The development within the ministerial bureaucracy was highly differentiated, where some departments were permea…
A National Socialist school for Norway: Concepts of Nazification during the German occupation
During the Nazi occupation of Norway from 1940 to 1945, Norwegian society was exposed to comprehensive Nazification measures. Considered racially equal, it was intended that the “Germanic” Norwegians would be transformed into a National Socialist people’s community. With the establishment of the so-called new order on 25 September 1940, the Nazification of Norwegian society became the main task of the local collaboration party, Nasjonal Samling. …
