Re: Mastering the time/location: a strategic asset (none / 0)

From that source and a few cross-references, it appears:

France had GMT from 1911, Spain from 1901.
Unless one and two half lines were deleted, both German-controlled and Vichy France applied both CET and CEST, with the sole difference of the occupied zone remaining in summer time during the 1940/1 and 1941/2 winters!
Norway switched to CET in 1895, Sweden was at GMT+1h10m and got CET in 1900.
