Polish soldiers in Napoleon's army (Legia Nadwiślańska)

[Witto1983]

To teraz Polacy będą musieli, jak w okresie restauracji dbać o imię Napoleona

Okazało się, że ministerstwo edukacji Francji dokonuje "ciekawych" zmian w uczeniu historii, omg...

Most of the Polish troops were actually Lithuanians, especially the ones that gave their life to protect the bridge over the Berezina.

[LemurekPL]

@caligrame Majority were Poles. Of course some of them had lithuanian origins. Alomst all lithuanian nobility and citizens of big cities were polonized. Idea of Poles as nation was born during time of Commonwealth. Example of that is Pilsudski. He had Lithuanian origins, but he was Pole. That's why there are so many Poles around Vilnius even now. One is sure, Lithuanians have complex about Poles. You are always trying to prove that Lithuania was stronger part of Commonwealth.

Thanks to poland from France

[58wojtek]

Vive la Pologne!

[Woodlander65]

Colonel Jerzmanowski and his fellow Poles were a part of the Elba Squadron, but there wasnt enough Poles to form an Independent unit, that is when Elba Squadron was absorbed into Colberts 2nd Chevaux-Legers, Lancers of the Imperial Guard, becoming the regiments 1st Squadron.

They fought well at Ligny, and also took part in Ney's mad untimely attacks till 7pm, but were in vain as they were beat by English Cavalry, batteries of belching fire and iron squares of Allied Infantry.

[Draksen]

Vive l'Empereur! Vive la Pologne! Vive la France!

Z pamiętnika lorda Blayneya: "Scena, która się wydarzyła w tym momencie nigdy nie zostanie wymazana z mojej pamięci, zarówno polscy oficerowie i żołnierze mieli wszyscy wygląd tych zdesperowanych bandytów opisanych w romansach; ich długie wąsy, ich twarze poczerniałe od dymu i prochu strzelniczego, i ich zakrwawione i podarte ubrania, dające ich całemu wyglądowi stopień nieopisanego poświęcenia"

[MrZolc]

"800 Poles would equal 8000 enemy soldiers."

- Napoleon Bonaparte

Vive La Emperor! ! !

[makaron24]

renommée empereur!

[MaxRWF]

3) When too unsteady fortune, When blackest of treasons. Together misled courage of our grand Napoleon, He made, when depositing the weapons, some concerning good-byes to the French. And one saw spreading tears in the eyes of the brave Polish lancers.

[ferdovit]

"Dla moich Polaków nie ma rzeczy niemożliwych" -

"For my Poles, nothing is impossible"...

-Napoleon Bonaparte

[wolnoscnieokielznana]

Motywacja Polaków: "Nie chodzi o wydarcie wolności Hiszpanom jeno o zamknięcie półwyspu dla Anglii, o lepszy rząd dla półwyspu i lepszego króla". Chodziło o wpływy na Półwyspie Pirenejskim, o usunięcie dominacji brytyjskiej. Była to też jedyna wojna w historii, kiedy Polacy walczyli przeciwko Anglikom, dodajmy - sprzymierzonym z zaborcami i niechętnym odrodzeniu Polski - czemu dali wyraz na kongresie wiedeńskim, a także w obu wojnach światowych (linia Curzona, Jałta).

[Gracz87]

A może ktoś przetłumaczyć na polski język?

[przemekprzemkowski]

Niech żyje Cesarz !!!

[rubyskub]

vive la FRANCE vive la republique et vive vive POLOGNE

Dans la froide Scandinavie

Du héros retentit le nom.

Soudain la Pologne asservie

Se lève pour Napoleon.

Il avait brisé les entraves.

De ce peuple ami dez Français.

|: Et la France, au rang de ses braves

Compta les lanciers Polonais. :|

[cedd59]

vive la France et la Pologne!

[Amatherasu1789]

Nie! Tylko Polska!

[wolnorynkowiec]

Nie! Tylko Francja!

[fallout401]

[kingbobnjoe]

I love hearing this kind of music! Thanks for uploading Stonewallmatze!

[granskare]

so now I understand why the more recent Polish military cap originated. Finns had a similar type of unit fighting in the 30 years war.

nice images and music :)

[tipitjo]

Et la France au rang de ses braves compte les Lanciers Polonais

jaime cette partie

[CallofDutyTV]

What they sing? I understand only la Pologne if I'm not wrong. xD

[Stonewallmatze]

Yes it's the song of the Lanciers Polonais, the Polish Lancers.

Dans la froide Scandinavie

Du héros retentit le nom.

Soudain la Pologne asservie

Se lève pour Napoleon.

Il avait brisé les entraves.

De ce peuple ami dez Français.

|: Et la France, au rang de ses braves

Compta les lanciers Polonais. :|

[Stonewallmatze]

2. Sans regrets, quittant leur patrie,

Pour Napoleon, ces guerriers.

Vont jusquaux champs dIberie,

Cuellier des moissons de lauriers.

Partout où lhonneur les apelle,

Ils volont tenter des hauts faits.

|: Et partout la gloire est fidèle

Aux braves lanciers Polonais. :|

[KingPeterI]

Could you translate the whole song to english? Please?

[MaxRWF]

In cold Scandinavia, the hero's name resounds.

Suddenly subjected Poland rises for Napoleon.

He had broken the bonds of these friendly people of the French.

And France, among its brave men, counted the Polish lancers.

[MaxRWF]

Without regrets, leaving their fatherland

For Napoleon those warriors

went to Iberian fields to gather harvests of laurels. Everywhere where the honor calls them, they want to try important facts

And everywhere glory is faithful to the brave Polish lancers.

[MaxRWF]

4) Napoleon, with a crying soul, told them in this cruel moment: " Turn over in your fatherland, Go, I cancel your serments". He believed, in his sad asylum, to be followed only by Frenchmen, But he still found in his island Polish lancers.

[MaxRWF]

5) You Poles, who take part of our noble days of glory, God must finally take care of your destinies. But even if you're in trouble, Friends, we will never forget that we had as brothers in arms the brave Polish lancers.

[s1974t]

God bless You !
