He was more like a figurehead if anything, he's just a symbol.

Even among OUN crowd there're Stetsko, Shukhevych, Rebet or Konovalets. Bandera just kinda stuck as a symbol, partly because every movement needs a leader figure, partly because their enemies wanted to portray him as the devil himself.
Also he was a fucking manlet, 158 cm tall.

More of a figurehead against Communism,he was more of a traitor,actually.He ignored the Germans and their cleansing of Western Ukraine because he was more interested in killing Russians and Poles in the regions where they've formed the majority.

>Ignored the Germans
He's a hero, but others contributed more.
Fuck the Germans for stabbing Ukraine in the back though.
