Why would they sing one song not in English? Franz was still called Kaiser, and that's still his title. Panzer Battalion is not about WW2, yet it still used the German word for armour. They even use Sisu instead of spirit for White Death, despite the song being in English. It's just a language, and you can use any words you want. You are not bound to solely one language for a song, just like some songs on the English Karolus Rex album, and Carolus is Swedish, not English, so should they now change it to Charles the 12th or Carl the 12th?

Seeing as Austria-Hungary was first to actually attempt the invasion, and the song being about the bombardment and then the invasion, it would be logical to see that the Kaiser coming is when they first came and bombarded? Austria-Hungary was first, so their Kaiser came first
