Something wrong?About this person
During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany Zwilgmeyer was appointed as a bishop by Vidkun Quisling, following the protest resignation of the regular bishops of the Church of Norway. He joined the Fascist party Nasjonal Samling, registering weak and futile objections to Quisling's policies. It was reported in 1943 that he resigned from the Nasjonal Samling. He was Mayor of Fana Municipality, later acting Bishop in Bjørgvin, and then Bishop in Hamar.
