Trivia

• The band was commissioned by members of the Norwegian Army Second Battalion to make an alternate version of Panzer Battalion. The alternate version was called Second Battalion, and the songs are exactly the same except that in the remade version the chorus goes "Second Battalion" where the original goes "panzer battalion".^{[citation needed]}
