This article calls Norway "neutral" during the war. That is a very generous analysis of the situation.

None of the Scandinavian countries have really come to terms with the amount they assisted and gave in to the Nazi regime during WWII.

In the case of Norway, the only legal party in the country was the Nazi Party from 1942-1945 [1]. Sweden was similarly guilty, and would quickly move to pay reparations after the war. Most interestingly, this was arranged by I believe Linus Torvald's uncle (other members of his family have similar high positions in Swedish culture / history).

Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1945 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_occupation_of_Norway), so I don’t see how that could be an argument supporting your claim that “they assisted and gave in to the Nazi regime during WWII
