Hans Eng

Hans Eng (22 March 1907 – 18 May 1995) was a Norwegian physician and Nazi collaborator during World War II.

In 1940 he called for Norwegian soldiers in the Norwegian Campaign to lay down their weapons. He volunteered for front service in Germanic SS Norway, but was never at the front. He was the private physician for Vidkun Quisling and his family, chief physician for Nasjonal Samling's department of public health, police physician with the title of "police inspector", physician in the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and physician at Bredtveit concentration camp. According to Julius Paltiel he was unwilling to treat the Jews incarcerated at Bredtveit. He was also present as a medical expert at several executions, including that of Gunnar Eilifsen in August 1943.

However, he was feared mainly as a police informer. Eng infamously notified Statspolitiet about Oslogjengen's May 1944 sabotage of Arbeidstjenesten's offices. The office which Max Manus, Edvard Tallaksen and Gregers Gram were supposed to assault, lay at the address Kirkeveien 90, where Eng also had one of his apartments. In addition to the three saboteurs, Dick Zeiner-Henriksen held guard at the front door and four people from Milorg were placed in the area to assist with firepower in case enemies showed up. In the court of appeal case against Eng, he testified that he thought the four guards had showed up to assassinate him. He phoned Statspolitiet, who managed to capture three of the four guards: Lars Eriksen, Jon Hatland and Per Stranger-Thorsen. The fourth guard Hans-Peter Styren as well as Tallaksen, Gram, Manus and Zeiner-Henriksen managed to escape. Two other persons associated with these three captured guards were later killed.
