Yngvar Fyhn

Yngvar Fyhn (1910 – 8 May 1945) was a Norwegian national socialist. He was leader of the National Socialist Workers' Party of Norway (NNSAP) from 1935 until 1940 when that party became defunct and he joined Nasjonal Samling (NS).[1] Fyhn became editor of the NS-paper Hirdmannen in 1941, turning the paper more pan-Germanist, militantly national socialist with an emphasis on "socialist", with fronts against Freemasonry, Jews and capitalists.[1][2] Fyhn was considered for a cabinet position in the failed pro-German coup attempt by Leif Schøren and Egil Holst Torkildsen, leaders of Germanske SS Norge, against Vidkun Quisling and NS in January 1945.[1] Fyhn committed suicide on 8 May 1945.[3]
