In this episode, we explore the life and legacy of General Jan Henryk Dombrowski, the Polish patriot who fought to restore his nation’s independence—on and off the battlefield.

From the formation of the Polish Legions in Italy to his leadership under Napoleon Bonaparte, Dombrowski became a symbol of national resilience and pride. Special guest Jonathan North joins the show to examine his key military campaigns, his relationship with the French Empire, and how he inspired Poland's national anthem.

Was he a freedom fighter, a pragmatist, or a pawn in Napoleon’s larger ambitions? Join us as we uncover the story of a general who fought not just for victory—but for the very soul of Poland.
