From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fronten(Norwegian:The Front) was a biweekly Norwegian newspaper.

History and profile

[edit]

It was published byNaziEugen Nielsenfrom 1932 to 1940. In the beginning, it was published biweekly,[1]but gradually this became more sporadic. Nielsen's primary interest, which was reflected in the publications, was attackingfreemasonry.[2]

Nielsen cooperated with the short-livedNational Socialist Workers' Party of Norway(Norges Nasjonalsosialistiske Arbeiderparti), and was, therefore, critical to the rivalling national socialist partyNasjonal Samling.With Nasjonal Samling seizing power in Norway in the autumn of 1940, during theGerman occupation of Norway,Fronteneventually ceased to exist. Nielsen continued as anAnti-Masonryconsultant for theSicherheitsdienst.[2]
