Vidkun Quisling
Vidkun Quisling, origional source of the term 'Quisling'.

In Max Brook's Novel World War Z, Quisling is used as a term to describe people who had, in effect, gone over the deep end. The psychological strain put on them from the Zombie hordes caused their minds to crack and a sort of emotional contagion occurred in which uninfected humans began acting, sounding, moving like and even believing they were the undead. Although unconvincing the actual zombies, normal human beings were often fooled by this emotional and psychological breakdown. What do you think could cause this to occur in a human being, to associate oneself with such their deepest fear? And also, how would you deal with a Quisling were you to find one?
