Backzone entry for Europe/Vaduz
In the year 2013 I had contributed information that Swiss neighbor country Liechtenstein, represented by Europe/Vaduz in file backzone, did not have daylight saving time in 1941 and 1942, while Switzerland, represented by Europe/Zurich, did have it. A colleague sent me a follow-up question today, which cause me to reconsider the question. I was able to access the online archive of the Vaduz paper Vaterland for free - they offer a special summer deal. I could confirm frm the paper that Liechtenstein did in fact follow the same DST in 1941 and 1942 as Switzerland did. The entry Europe/Vaduz in the file backzone can be removed, so that the link Europe/Zurich Europe/Vaduz remains effective even for those who, like me, compile TZ with backzone included. I attach a few newspaper clippings, not translated.

Thank you very much! Even with Europe/Vaduz dropped from backzone, I think the (now established) fact that Vaduz is like Zurich since at least 1894-06 is worth being recorded. Could you please give the dates of the clips of Vaterland? Michael Deckers.

3 May 1941 4 October 1941 6 May 1941 from https://www.vaterland.li/archiv/epaperinhalt/
I must correct myself. Europe/Vaduz in backzone has to be amended with DST 1941/42 . It cannot be dropped, because it still differs from Europe/Zurich before 1894, as Vaduz did not follow Bern mean time before it switched to Central European time. On 04.07.19 17:04, Michael H Deckers wrote:
