Adolf Egeberg

Adolf Egeberg Jr. (30 September 1909 – 22 June 1972[1]) was a Norwegian journalist and national socialist. Egeberg worked as a correspondent for Nationen in Germany circa 1930,[2] and he took courses in the SA in Munich, and SS in Berlin.[3] He was involved in the short-lived Norwegian fascist party National Legion in 1927–28, before he founded the National Socialist Workers' Party of Norway (NNSAP) in 1930, modelled on the German Nazi Party (NSDAP).[4] He gained financial support for his party from Eugen Nielsen, publisher of Fronten, in 1932.[5] Egeberg left the party to join the founding of Nasjonal Samling (NS) in 1933, and got a position as editor of Vestlandets Avis (1934–36), the NS-paper published in Stavanger.[4] He was part of a circle, some of whom founded the periodical Ragnarok, that sought to push NS in a national socialist direction.[2]

He died in 1972 and is buried at Vestre gravlund.[1]
