This is just a question to some well informed readers of this mailing list.
Liberated France ended daylight saving time on 8 October 1944, 01:00, as represented in zone Europe/Paris.
Eastern parts of France were still occupied by the German
army at that time, and Germany ended DST in 1944 on 2 October
1922, 02:00s = 03:00, as represented in TZ
by Europe/Berlin, rule C-Eur.
For occupied France however, Shanks claims the end of DST on
3 Oct 1944 03:00. For all other countries in Europe on German
time at that moment, Shanks holds that DST ended 2 October, like
in Germany itself.
I cannot find a source supporting Shanks' claim for the
deviation in France.
Does anyone have information supporting Shanks' claim?
