Thanks to Ken for this observation, the April-2-1945 timezone change in Denmark does go into effect as can be easily checked with the below commands
$ TZ=Europe/Copenhagen date -d '1945-04-02 00:59:59 UTC' Mon Apr 2 01:59:59 CET 1945
TZ=foo in this case is not a command, it's Bourne Shell syntax for "execute the rest of this command line with TZ=foo temporarily set in the process environment". I don't think cmd.exe has a way to do this; you'd have to write one-time "batch file" and then run it. (You'd still have to get a working "date" utility.) -GAWollman
