National Socialist Movement of Norway

(Redirected from Norges Nasjonalsosialistiske Bevegelse)

The National Socialist Movement of Norway (Norwegian: Norges Nasjonalsosialistiske Bevegelse, NNSB), formerly Zorn 88,[1] was a Norwegian neo-Nazi[2] group with an estimated 150 members, led by Erik Rune Hansen until his death in 2004.[3] Founded in 1988, it was a secretive group with tight membership regulation.[4]

Ideology and activities

edit

The NNSB expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler and Vidkun Quisling,[5] and was focused on historical revisionism and antisemitism,[2] particularly Holocaust denial.[1] It published the magazine Gjallarhorn,[1] and in 1999 published The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.[6] Other recurrent topics included racial hygiene, Norse religion,[4] the occult, UFOs,[3] and the white genocide conspiracy theory.[5] Several of its members were active Nazis as front fighters and members of Nasjonal Samling during World War II.[2][7] The group had ties to Erik Blücher and the magazine Folk og Land,[7] and to Varg Vikernes.[8] It was part of international networks along with the World Union of National Socialists,[4] the National Socialist Movement of Denmark, the Swedish National Socialist Front, and Blood & Honour.[9][10] Along with Scandinavian groups it took part in celebrations and memorials to Adolf Hitler and Rudolf Hess.[11]

In November 2007, a memorial ceremony at the German war cemetery in Oslo was attacked by anti-fascists, leaving five NNSB-members wounded, one severely.[12] The NNSB pledged that it had no intentions of retaliating the attack.[13] The group was eventually dissolved later the same year.[3]
