I do hope the Emperor is in fine fettle for the morrow....we wouldn't want him to be under-the-weather on such an auspicious day! And there was I thinking it was always the other extremities rather than the ears that caused him difficulties before big battles?

You might well ponder this, and add to it the understanding that officers prefer to report to the Emperor loudly, rather than trying to whisper in his ear.

Well, "panzer" derives from the French "pansier" for armor plating, and while we don't have any armor plating anymore (thanks to the advent of rifles) we do have cooking pans (from which our term for armor plating was derived). And we're marching.

Therefore, the phrase still stands as valid: the French shall indeed march, with our cooking pans!
