  Josef Terboven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He moved into the Norwegian crown prince's residence in Skaugum and made the Stortinget (Norwegian parliament)'s buildings his headquarters; Nazi authorities proclaimed the end of the monarchy 25 September 1940, changing the name of the state to Norway until the legal Norwegian authorities assumed control in 9 May 1945.
He committed suicide on May 8, 1945 by detonating dynamite in his bunker hideout on the Skaugum compound.
Terboven blew himself up in the company of the body of the commander of the SS in Norway, General Rediess, who had shot himself earlier the same day.
