Napoleon Bonaparte was a megalomaniac whose military conquests caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. It's not surprising that Napoleon's tomb was one of the half-dozen Paris sights adoringly visited by the conquering Hitler in June 1940. (Too bad the latter failed to learn from the former's experience in Russia.) Sca (talk) 15:29, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
