What time was used in american reports during summer of 1944
Was it the same as the british RAF did? This was GMT + 2HRS = BDST (double british summer time). It was identical with the time the germans used. But I have no info about the american time system. Any help would be greatly apprechiated. Thanks - Kurtl
