> I’ve perused the tz repository before, and I always learn something interesting. For example, during WWII Britain adopted double summer time, adding two hours to the clock in the summer and one hour in the winter.

My country, Spain, did the same but never fixed it, so we are still in this "double summer time". It is one of the main reasons why Spanish people seemingly do everything later (breakfast, lunch, dinner) than other European countries.

Other Western European countries like France also switched to German time during the war and kept it afterwards.

Yes, the Netherlands too (we were on +0:20 before).

But Spain is much further to the west.

Spain is not “double summer time”, it is just on an offset that is off by one hour related to its geographical position.

That's why I wrote it in quotes, it is not an official term. But call it however you want, the results are the same.
