German time - Soviet time

hello members,

Reading the different post, I read everything and its opposite on the hours.
Soviet summer time = German time + 1, +2 ....

Was the exact time this one?

The German time is GMT +1 in winter and GMT + 2 in summer (from 1940 to 1945).
Moscow time is GMT + 2, all year, there is no more summer time since 1921.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Re: German time - Soviet time

Hello,

generally:
02:00 1.4.40 – 03:00 2.11.42 Russian time = German+1
03:00 2.11.42 – 02:00 29.3.43 Russian time = German+2
02:00 29.3.43 – 03:00 4.10.43 Russian time = German+1
03:00 4.10.43 – 02:00 3.4.44 Russian time = German+2
02:00 3.4.44 – 03:00 2.10.44 Russian time = German+1
03:00 2.10.44 - 02:00 2.4.45 Russian time = German+2
02:00 2.4.45 – 02:00 16.9.45 Russian time = German+1

In some cases Germans used Finnish, Romanian time etc

Best regards,
Andrey

Re: German time - Soviet time

Thanks Andrey for your answer.

I will try to formalize your answer.

Before 1930 Moscow time is GMT + 2 (universal time).
By a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of June 16th, 1930, the clock hands having been advanced by one hour, it is the "Derektnoe" times.
Moscow is then in GMT + 3.
Thus the offset is +1 in summer and +2 in winter.

Thank you very much for allowing me to understand.

Laurent, good day.
Not "Derektnoe" - "Dekretnoe".
