Time error?[edit]

The text "The inevitable German invasion started on 10 May 1940 at 3:55 a.m. Dutch time (5:35 German time)" seems at odds -- time zones are usually separated in 1-hour increments, or, rarely, 30-minute increments. The text states that German time is 1h40m ahead of Dutch time. Graham^talk/mail/e 20:42, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some research: First, Germany and the Netherlands are on the same time zone, CET. The Nazis did impose DST, so it's possible that the time indicated should be +01:00. So there's an error here -- it's going to be either 03:55 and 04:55, or 04:35 and 05:35.

There's a corroboration that the paratrooper invasion (the first wave) started at 03:55 local at this site: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/world-war-two/world-war-two-in-western-europe/the-attack-on-western-europe/the-german-invasion-of-holland/ . I'm going to correct the cite to reflect that. Graham^talk/mail/e 20:54, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
