Indeed, and one of them, Norway's Vidkun Quisling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidkun_Quisling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidkun_Quisling), was so notorious his name become synonymous with betraying your country. To this day, in multiple countries, all you have to say to indicate that you think someone would be happy to trade loyalty for power is to call them a quisling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling).

Unfortunately the caption is omitted, but is at least retold just below the middle of the article: 'It depicts Quisling arriving to audience before Hitler. His right arm raised in the Nazi salute, he announces “I’m quisling!” to which the doorman asks: “And your name?”' The original caption was just (if I remember correctly): - I’m quisling! - And your name? The cartoon was printed in Sweden, in Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, which was edited by Torgny Segerstedt, one of too few outspoken anti-nazis among Swedish editors.
