National Socialist Workers' Party of Norway

History

Ideologically modelled on the German NSDAP, and espousing a pan-Germanic current, many members of the party, and notably the founder and first leader Adolf Egeberg had organisational and personal ties to the NSDAP and the SS. Founded as a National Socialist "cell" in 1930, the party gained financing from Eugen Nielsen, publisher of Fronten, from 1932 until a schism in 1934 due to conflict over Nielsen's primarily anti-Masonic focus, with the party seeking to develop its national socialist ideology. 

The party had around a thousand members at its height, but was quickly overshadowed by Nasjonal Samling (NS), which was founded by Vidkun Quisling in May 1933. Several of the party's original and early members, including Egeberg, as well as Egil Holst Torkildsen, Stein Barth-Heyerdahl and Eiliv Odde Hauge at some point left the party to join NS.
