Vidkun Quisling and Ioannis Rallis
There is a number of similarities between two of Europe’s most notorious collaborationists: Vidkun Quisling from Norway and Ioannis Rallis from Greece. Both stepped in to collaborate with Nazi Germany, and both did so to safeguard their countries. They both led the government in their respective countries, and both were tried by postwar authorities.
On their personal lifes there were also similarities: Both were married twice: Vidkun Quisling with Alexandra Andreevna Voronina and Maria Vasilijevna. Ioannis Rallis with Aspasia Kyriakouli Mavromichali and his second spouse was Zaira Theotoki.
Also, both of them died behind bars: Quisling died at the Akershus Fortress, Oslo, while Rallis died at the Averof Prison, Athens. And both of them died in October: Quisling died in 24 October in 1945, while Rallis died in 26 October 1946.
Here is some more about Vidkun Quisling.

Greek girls of the Golden Dawn
You know you love them. After our two series of pictures of the sexy Greek girls of the Golden Dawn (see Greek golden girls part I and its sequel, The women of Golden Dawn), here come a few more:
Οι Γυναικες της Χρυσης Αυγης
After our popular post with pictures of girls and women of the Golden Dawn (Chrysi Avgi), here are some more! Οι Γυναικες της Χρυσης Αυγης!
Nationalsocialistisk Front and Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn)
There are some similarities between the Greek nationalist movement Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn) and its Swedish camarades, the Nationalsocialistisk Front. Here are some pictures:
Golden Dawn and Black Metal
Many ask about the relationship about the Greek nationalist party Chrysi Avgi/Golden Dawn and the Black Metal scene.
There is an important relationship between Golden Dawn and black metal. In fact, many members of Chrysi Avgi are metalheads, and a portion of them are blackmetallers. Some of these blackmetallers also adhere to the principles of the Hellenic national socialist ideology – resulting in the so-called Hellenic National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) scene.
By the way, if you’re interested, here’s a list with the best Greek NSBM black metal songs.
Members of these NSBM bands do not disguise that they support Golden Dawn (why shoud they?), and the relationship is visible in some details. For example, this is the cover of Bannerwar’s album “To Honour Fatherland”, which features a meandros (“meander”) on the artwork – the meandros being of course the Golden Dawn’s main emblem.
This another album belongs to another band, Wolfnacht, and it also features the meander. Additionally, the album’s title “Aima ke Timi” means “Blood and Honour” (Blut und Ehre was one of the mottos of the German SS). If you haven’t spotted it, there is also a drawing of a golden dawn on the picture. Golden Dawn = Chrysi Avgi.
This is yet another album by Wolfnacht (“Dawn of Heathens”):
This is yet another album featuring the meandros of Chrysi Avgi. It’s made by black metal band Patris (Greek for “Fatherland”). The band’s logo also displays the double-headed eagle, the medieval symbol of the Greek Byzantine Empire and an emblem of Hellenic imperialism in the Middle Ages.
Finally, this album from the Hellenic National Socialist band Der Stürmer also features the meandros as part of the cover artwork at their album “Transcendental Racial Idealism”
Of course, the relationship does not stop in the artwork sphere.
The members of Legion of Doom, one of the most famous Greek national socialist black metal bands, are self-confessed members of Chrysi Avgi / Golden Dawn.
And they have a song called “The Rise of a Golden Dawn”.
Legion of Doom was once in the news for the artwork in their albums – one of them featured a swastika. This is very old news (about 1995).
Another black metal band with a relationship with Golden Dawn / Chrysi Avgi is Naer Mataron. The band’s bassist Kaiadas (Georgios Germenis) is a Golden Dawn politician and an elected deputy at the Greek Parliament. He’s kind of a celebrity in Greece and has been interviewed in TV together with his wife. If you happen to watch the interview you’ll notice that they are a wonderful couple.
Notice the swastikas – an ancient Hellenic symbol – on Zeus’ clothes in this Naer Mataron’s album.

Varg Vikernes – Vidkun Quisling
As if the photographic similarities between Adolf Hitler and Varg Vikernes wouldn’t be enough, here’s another one.
The mastermind behind Burzum Kristian Larssøn Vikernes is a prominent pagan and legally changed his forename from Kristian to Varg in 1993 for obvious reasons, but he was also later known as Varg Kvisling Larssøn Vikernes (in fact he changed his name again in 2009, but his legal name today is not known to the public).
Apparently, the ‘Kvisling’ part is Varg Vikernes’ homage to Vidkun Quisling, the collaborationist leader who led a puppet government in Nazi-occupied Norway.
Vikernes admires Quisling for upholding Norway’s order while others ran away from the Germans during the Nazi invasion of Norway in 1940. In his own words in this interview,
“They [the Norwegian government at the beginning of World War II] ran like chickens, leaving Norway, with absolutely NO authorities, and when Vidkun Quisling tried to bring order back, he was thanked with a bullet in his heart after the war.”
He respects Quisling so much that he once said that he would like to go to Quisling’s grave to pay him his particular homage. On the Lords of Chaos book, he explained:
It’s the fifty year anniversary of [Quisling’s] execution on the 24th of October, 1995. I was trying to pay for a wreath, to lay a cross on his grave. It’s in Telemark. There will probably be a lot of people gathered there this year. I unfortunately cannot come.
But Vikernes’ relationship with Quisling goes beyond admiration and respect. Varg Vikernes claims that he has blood ties with Vidkun Quisling, which is a second reason for him to use the Quisling surname (even if he changed it into ‘Kvisling’).
“I have Quisling blood. Susanne Qisling, she’s born 1811 and died 1891, is one of my ancestors. One side of the family spelled their name without the “u,” Quisling actually means one who comes from a side branch of the King’s lineage. So it’s a noble birth, Quisling.”
In this article, he explains better his relationship with the Quisling family name:
As a curiosity I can add that my great-great-grandmother’s family name was Qisling (often spelled Quisling or Qvisling), that derives from Norse Kvíslingr and translates as “branch of Ingr”. Ingr (Proto-Norse InguR, Germanic Inguz) is a name of Freyr (and both “Freyr” and “Ingr” translates as “love”, but it also means “lord” and “chieftain”). Naturally I do not descend from the god Freyr, but from a priest impersonating the god Freyr. (My great-great-grandmother’s whole name was Susanne Malene Qisling, by the way. She was from Telemark in Norway and was born in 1811 and died in 1882).
Have you ever talked to any of the original relatives of Quisling?, the Lords of Chaos book author asked Vikernes.
“No, they’ve changed their names, all of them. ‘I’m considering changing my name back to Quisling.”
Vikernes’ pride for his relationship with Vidkun Quisling and the latter’s political movement, the Nasjonal Samling, emerged in an obvious way during one of Varg’s trials, when he repeatedly appeared dressed with looks resembling those of a member of Nasjonal Samling.
There are some striking similarities between Varg and Vidkun. Vidkun’s second wife was a foreigner (an Ukrainian) called Maria (Maria Vasiljevna Pasetsjnikova). Varg’s second wife is also a foreigner (a French), and she’s also called Maria (Maria Cachet).
Additionally, both Norwegians have had a special relationship with Russians. Quisling loved all things Russian, while Vikernes seems to have much support and appreciation from Russia as well.
Beyond these, there are some other similarities between Vidkun Jonsson Quisling and Varg Larsson Vikernes, as these pictures below show:
By the way, here is some more information on Vidkun Quisling.
Luftwaffe pilots
We have had our load of beautiful fascist girls, whether be Croatian girls with Ustasha caps or sexy Serbian girls with Chetnik caps.
Now it’s the turn for girls. Here are a handful of pictures of Luftwaffe pilots. These guys served Germany, the Third Reich and the Nazi ideals with heroism.
Serbian girls – Sexy girls from Serbia with chetnik caps
No post about the Ustasha style and Croatian girls is really complete without mentioning their counterpart – the Chetniks and Serbian girls. You may like the black caps of the Ustashe uniform, but you’ll also like the green caps of the traditional Chetnik gear of Serbians, especially when wore by these Serbian beauties.
