Are they basing it on the right dates and wrong year, or is it simply starting from the creating of the page?

According to the Wikipedia page[1], "Collinson [the author] began the feed in late August 2011, to coincide with the start of World War II with the German Invasion of Poland in September 1939. He has tweeted the events of the war as they happened on each date and time exactly 72 years earlier."

They're using the right dates. So today's tweets are for August 1942.
