LietPol - Strong Poland

LietPol is totally my OTP, but I'm getting a bit tired of Poland being stereotyped as the cross-dressing girly gayboy. If you look at his history, Poland kicked ass in the middle ages, and he had to be strong to take everything the rest of Europe has thrown at him since then.
So, I'd like some LietPol where Poland is actually strong and courageous. He doesn't necessarily have to top, I just don't want him being weak and girly. Any time period is fine. Actually, you know what, it doesn't even have to be LietPol, I just want some Poland love.
Bonus: Poland being brave and standing up to Russia, even though he knows there's no chance he'll win.

Oh look. Authoranon replied during my very long reply to my first comment. I'm hopeless.
Anyway, thank you authoranon for agreeing with me!!! All the Hetalia characters are portrayed in generally silly ways in the comic and especially the anime, but with everything they've had to go through as countries, I suspect there's a lot under the surface we don't see explicitly in canon. And usually, there's good reasons for how they act in canon if only we think a little harder about them. Like how I just explained Poland above. Sounds silly on the surface, but is actually quite serious.
Yeah. Shutting up again before this gets too long.
Author-anon again~

I love long comments, they make me happy! It lets me know someone actually read the fic thoroughly enough to make a detailed comment!
To be honest, when I read the prompt I knew I wanted to do something with Poland and 1939. I started researching it (beyond what I already knew) and discovered the whole France-and-England treaty breaking thing. But I decided to use England rather than France just because England is easier for me to handle. I have a really hard time writing France.
But I'm glad you enjoyed, and thanks so much for your awesome comments!

I really loved the line about how Poland was the only country that saw the Jews as his people . . . I drew an art based on it. =D Want a link?
