The newly digitized documents show that the government installed by the Nazis prepared to ask Adolf Hitler to allow Norwegian settlements in Russia and Ukraine.
The documents consist of correspondences between collaborationist leader Vidkun Quisling's advisers. One adviser suggests in a letter dated June 26, 1941 - four days after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union - that northern Russia would be better used by Germanic peoples because Slavic peoples "don't know how to make use of the land."
The documents were published online ahead of Friday's 70th anniversary of the April 9, 1940, Nazi invasion of Norway.
