Frontkjempere

I react to this as a historian with Norwegian fascism and national socialism as my main field of research, and this series has proven to be highly problematic, as it hides war crimes perpetrated by Norwegian SS volunteers and lets surviving volunteers explain away several aspects of their service. It more or less portrays the soldiers as victims of subterfuge and sneaky recruitment tactics, and ignores that research shows them to the mostly nazis and anti semites before they were recruited. It also perpetuates myths about the sentences they received after the war as illegal. While there are historians that take part in the series the editing leaves out salient commentary and important facts and analysis.

Which has sparked significant criticism and controversy.
