Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz. Did he say The Emperor may do what he pleases with your head after the battle but during it he will kindly allow you to use it?

Not precisely, but close enough. I only know the quote in Swedish, so I'll translate it...
Von Seydlitz was in command of the cavalry, beneath Frederick the Great, and when the battle began to look poorly, Frederick the Great sent a captain with a message to von Seydlitz: "His majesty told me to inform you that you will pay with your head unless the cavalry attacks immediately."
Von Seydlitz sat calm atop his horse, silent for a moment, before turning to the captain and speaking softly: "Tell his majesty, that after the battle, my head will be at his disposal. During the battle, I intend to use it to his advantage. Thank you, captain!"
