Norwegian National Legion (1814: Norwegian Independence)

The Norwegian National Legion (Landsmål: Noregs Nasjonale Legion, NNL) was a Fascistic and Anti-communist political party in Norway, formed in 1925. The NNL was formed as a reaction against the revolutionary parties in Norwegian politics, primarily the Labour Party. When the Communist Party was formed, the Legion saw them as soviet traitors to the nation.

Among those in the ranks of the party was figures like Ragnvald Hvoslef, Johan Bernhard Hjort and Victor Mogens. The last of them was for most of the party's existence a leading member. The party's ideology was that of opposition to the Soviet Communism, the dissolution of Norwegian democracy and the building of a new Norwegian state.

When Sweden invaded Norway in 1940, the party splitt between those that supported the Swedish and those that opposed them. The main party would oppose the invaders while members would leave the party and form the Scandinavian Legion.

After the war, both the NNL and the SL would be banned for while the NNL had been against the Swedish, they was collaborating with the Germans.
