Abstract In 2000 Jo Nesbø’s The Redbreast was published, a crime novel that reached broad popular acclaim. In this novel Nesbø critically addresses the Norwegian hegemonic narrative on World War II and the Norwegians who volun-tarily served on the German side on one or more of the eastern fronts, and who were seen, in the postwar period, as perpetrators. By applying and transforming well-known master narratives the reader is not only made familiar with the story of these Norwegians, but also invited to reevaluate their role in Norwegian history.
