2. Vidkun Quisling
Vidkun Quisling’s name is now synonymous with betrayal. During World War II, he seized power in Norway by collaborating with Nazi Germany, establishing a puppet regime under Hitler’s control. Quisling’s actions led to immense suffering for his countrymen and cemented his infamy across the globe. After the war, he was tried and executed for treason. To this day, calling someone a “Quisling” is to label them a traitor of the highest order.
