In 1941 she got a Nazi visa to return to occupied Norway, where she lived well on the profits of her husband's collaborationist lumber business. He died on the eve of his trial during the purge of the quislings in 1946. When Flagstad returned to the U.S., she was greeted with pickets, jeers and stink bombs in the concert halls of three cities. But she was innocent, if naive, and the world soon forgave her.
