Statspolitiet (1931–1936)
Statspolitiet ( English:''The State Police'') was a police force in Norway. Statspolitiet was a rapid reaction force, consisting of 76 men, who had fighting riots as their main task. It was established June 11, 1931 and directly subordinated the Norwegian Ministry of Justice. At this point of time the police in general was a municipal responsibility. Most famous and infamous were Statspolitiet for their efforts against the strikers during the Menstad conflict. This led to the Labour movement, after the Labour Party formed a government in 1935, to proceed to reform the police. Statspolitiet was dissolved with expanded duties and was renamed to '' Utrykningspolitiet'' in 1936. All police authorities in Norway were subordinated the Norwegian National Government. |

Collaborationism
Wartime collaboration is cooperation with the enemy against one's country of citizenship in wartime. As historian Gerhard Hirschfeld says, it "is as old as war and the occupation of foreign territory". The term ''collaborator'' dates to the 19th century and was used in France during the Napoleonic Wars. The meaning shifted during World War II to designate traitorous collaboration with the enemy. The related term ''collaborationism'' is used by historians who restrict the term to a subset of ideological collaborators in Vichy France who actively promoted German victory.
