Sverre Riisnæs

Sverre Riisnæs

Sverre Parelius Riisnæs (1897–1988) was a Norwegian appointed councillor of state in the Nasjonal Samling government of Vidkun Quisling 1940–1941, and minister 1941–1945. He evaded trial and punishment after the war, claiming insanity. To this day, there are questions whether he feigned mental weakness.
