The '''Nasjonal Samling''' ({{IPA|no|nɑʂʊˈnɑːɫ ˈsɑ̂mlɪŋ}}, '''NS'''; {{literal translation|National Gathering}}) was a [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[far-right politics|far-right]] political party active from 1933 to 1945. It was the only legal party of Norway from 1942 to 1945. It was founded by former minister of defence [[Vidkun Quisling]] and a group of supporters such as [[Johan Bernhard Hjort]]{{spaced ndash}}who led the party's paramilitary wing (''[[Hirden]]'') for a short time before leaving the party in 1937 after various internal conflicts. The party celebrated its founding on 17 May, [[Norwegian Constitution Day|Norway's national holiday]], but was founded on 13 May 1933. Nasjonal Samling was made illegal and disbanded at the [[End of World War II in Europe]], on 8 May 1945.
