Shattered by the Death

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"In May, Quisling was shattered by the death of his mother Anna, as the two had been particularly close."

This has no source listed, is emotionally hyperbolic and seems intended to humanize a traitor and racist. Fine words for a slanted biography, but hardly for an encyclopedia.47.201.244.234 (talk) 15:06, 24 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
