Legitimising the Quisling regime was the foremost demand of Nazi Germany that King Haakon VII of Norway refused to accept.

Haakon VII's unwavering rejection of this demand symbolized Norway's resistance against Nazi occupation and his unwavering commitment to democratic principles and national sovereignty.
