In my home country Denmark, it seems that there is a superfluous rule for 2.nd of April 1945, which I suggest to delete:
Rule Denmark 1940 only - May 15 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Denmark 1945 only - Apr 2 2:00s 1:00 S Rule Denmark 1945 only - Aug 15 2:00s 0 -
Unles my interpretation is wrong, both before and after the rule takes effect in April 2, 1945, the time in Denmark would be GMT+2 (e.g. GMT+1 +1), or does it mean that time is GMT+3?
The rule (in its broader context) says, before 02:00 on 1945-04-02, Denmark was 1 hour ahead of GMT, but at 02:00 it went to being 2 hours ahead.
GMT+3? As a side-question, I haven't been able to check this with any Time Zone Converter (the web version has a cutoff date of 1970). Is there any way to check this by a program, and which?
I used Gnu date to confirm the reading: $ TZ=Europe/Copenhagen date -d '1945-04-02 00:59:59 UTC' Mon Apr 2 01:59:59 CET 1945 $ TZ=Europe/Copenhagen date -d '1945-04-02 01:00:00 UTC' Mon Apr 2 03:00:00 CEST 1945 --Ken Pizzini
