Iron Cross Controversy
Several criticisms have been made of the band's theme that revolved around the term "Iron Cross". The fact has come to a shock to international viewers of the time by the Band's theme of Nazism with design arts of Eagles, swastikas, medals and especially the band's name itself. However, these influences are of innocuous origins and the band members were much unaware of the social taboo the subject of Fascism was. However, this trend has caught hold into much of Myanmar's youth culture, with items such as Storm-trooper stylized motorcycle helmets and other Nazi-themed accessories being marketed.
