“…8 For expatriate politicians and senior civil servants, the issue of how to punish improper collaboration with the German occupant also became an important concern, as part of arrangements for their future return to home following a German defeat. 9 By preparing and announcing, primarily through radio broadcasts and the illegal press, a resolute judicial reckoning with nationals who had committed betrayal, the London governments could also demonstrate political vigour and hope to improve their standing in the public opinion at home. 10 Especially in the first war years, there was a common tendency to regard the exile regimes as more or less irrelevant and inferior to home resistance.…”

This article examines the role of the Norwegian resistance movement 'Hjemmefronten' (the Home Front, HF) as a political interest group during the exile government's formulation of provisional laws meant for the postwar reckoning with Norwegian collaborators and foreign war criminals. The article argues that the resistance through its judicial committee in Oslo had a decisive impact on the final versions of three decrees that, though constitutionally contested, formed most of the legal basis for the judicial settlement after 1945. It is shown how the intervention of the HF in the legislative process during 1944 and 1945 exacerbated the constitutional difficulties associated with the penal decrees passed in London. Compared to other Western European countries occupied by Nazi Germany the influence of the resistance over the wording of treason laws almost certainly is unique.
