in may 1945, at the close of world war ii, the paramilitary milorg (norway's official resistance movement in the war) joined units of the norwegian police that had been trained in sweden. both had been well briefed and prepared ahead of the official liberation on 8 may 1945. the norwegian government-in-exile assembled this force because it viewed it as paramount to avoid lynching or other extrajudicial punishment against former members of the nazi regime. nevertheless, during the summer of 1945, there was a fierce debate reported in norwegian newspapers about the prosecution and punishment of war criminals and traitors. many spoke openly of retaliation, but others argued that death penalty was a "drawback for a civilized community". as tensions hardened, those fighting against the death penalty for humanitarian reasons were stigmatized as "the silk front". those who favored harsh penalties were known as "the ice front". the editorial pages of norwegian newspapers ("dagbladet" being one of the most prominent) demanded harsh penalties reminiscent of a witch-hunt.
