The context: an s.s. officer is in the hospital and has fallen in lust with his nurse, who hates the Boche.

When she says that she only has to see a german to get angry, he says:

"Je voudrais etre un predicateur a la parole invincible et que tous les Francais soient a mes pieds. Et que vous e'embrassiez les genoux."

I translate it thus:

I'd like to be the one pronouncing the all powerful word so that all the French would be at my feet and you would be embracing my knees.

predicateur is a preacher, i know, and this is my guess at the meaning;

how close did i come?
