> # Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and

> # http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html). The law/regulation

> # since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since
> # before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere

>
> # From Paul Eggert (2001-05-01):
> #
> # Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II,
> # so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Olso was
> # keeping Berlin time.
> #
> # <http://home.no.net/janmayen/history.htm> says that the meteorologists
> # burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in
> # 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite
> # frequent air ttacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a
> # radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly
> # the UTC offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that
> # Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules.
> #
> # Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an
> # Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says
> # <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ
> # <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were

> # From Steffen Thorsen (2001-05-01):
> # Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and
> # Svalbard have been using the same time as Norway at least since the
> # time they were declared as parts of Norway. Svalbard was declared
> # as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan
> # Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From
> # http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19250717-011.html and
> # http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html). The law/regulation
> # for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came
> # into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a
> # part of this law since 1925/1930. (From
> # http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-18940629-001.html ) I have not been
> # able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100)
> # before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabitated" since 1921 by
> # Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever
> # since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since
> # before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere
> # between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive).
>
> # From Paul Eggert (2001-05-01):
> #
> # Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II,
> # so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Olso was
> # keeping Berlin time.
> #
> # <http://home.no.net/janmayen/history.htm> says that the meteorologists
> # burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in
> # 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite
> # frequent air ttacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a
> # radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly
> # the UTC offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that
> # Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules.
> #
> # Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an
> # Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says
> # <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ
> # <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were
> # expelled on 1942-05-14. However, small parties of Germans did return,
> # and according to Wilhelm Dege's book "War North of 80" (1954)
> # <http://www.utpress.utoronto.ca/publishing/rights/dege_warnorthof80.htm>
> # the German armed forces at the Svalbard weather station code-named
> # Haudegen did not surrender to the Allies until September 1945.
