May 14, 1915 - Henry Rinnan
Operating as an informant and agent for the German occupation forces, Rinnan built a network that penetrated Norwegian resistance cells through infiltration and deception, leading to the capture, torture, and death of scores of his own countrymen. The scale of betrayal he orchestrated from within made him one of the most damaging collaborators of the occupation period.
