National Socialism
Egeberg was the Nation's Germany correspondent in 1930 In the spring of 1932 he attended the Reichsführerschule in Munich, which was responsible for training leaders of the German guard force Sturmabteilung (SA). He then underwent a course in "worldview" at the driver's school of the Schutzstaffel (SS) in Berlin.
Back in Oslo, Egeberg appeared in what was perceived as an SS uniform, and called for the creation of a Norwegian Hitler movement.
Egeberg became the first chairman of NNSAP, a party financed by Eugen Nielsen. Inspired by the street battles between the SA, communists and other paramilitary groups in interwar Germany, NNSAP members made a name for themselves with violent attacks and confrontations in Oslo.
In 1933, he attended meetings organized by Walter Fürst within a framework called "The National Club", which was perceived by the Labor press as a fascist assembly. Here, Egeberg gave a lecture on National Socialism, among other things. On one occasion, he showed Fürst the proofreading of a magazine he edited, Fronten - the party newspaper of the NNSAP, and told about his plans to enter the party in the autumn elections. Fürst then urged Vidkun Quisling to speed up the plans for the establishment of a new national people's movement - Nasjonal Samling.
Through Fürst he came into contact with Quisling. With Johan B. Hjort, Stein Barth-Heyerdahl, Thor Schyberg and others, he was present during the foundation of NS.
Just a few days after the foundation, Egeberg became a propaganda worker in NS, paid privately by Fürst. He became party secretary in NS and was editor of the party's Rogaland publication Vestlandets Avis, which existed between 1934 and 1936. Among other things, he published several articles with strong attacks on Jews.
After the war
Egeberg testified during the national treason settlement after the war, took part in private interviews with writers and maintained contact with former National Socialists.
