Napoleon is the national hero of Poland. He funded the training of our soliders who then fought for our freedom and trained next generations.

He may be a great villain of the west and the great empires of his time, but he was a hero of the people that were oppressed at the time. We all know that he helped Poles, only because he knew we will fight in his battles in exchange and ultimately it was a small price for him, but it was a heroic act compared to all other nations simply forcing us into their armies.

In the end, even if I would not agree that Napoleon is the ultimate perfect monarch, I have to say he is a hero and will be a hero. Every time anyone sings polish anthem, they say thanks to Bonaparte for training us and that "he showed us how we ought to win" as the anthem says.
