Quisler

Other potential "quislers" still at large last week include: Sweden's Sven Olav Lindholm, an Army sergeant who willingly dubs himself Sweden's Hitler; Holland's Blackshirt Anton Adrian Missert; Hungary's Greenshirt Kalman Hubay; England's Blackshirt Sir Oswald Mosley; Belgium's broom-waving Rexist Léon Degrelle and the underground pro-Nazi conspirators who agitate in Alsace-Lorraine.

The capture of the fleet would have been its delivery “to the enemy,” for France now knows and even the Vichy government knows—except Laval and a dwindling coterie of his fellow quislers—that Germany is the enemy.

In the rumblings of mounting war sentiment, the radicals and the left-wing trade unions blended in the public imagination into a diffuse mass of pacifist quislers, immigrants of shaky loyalties, and anarchist saboteurs.
