java - Timezone and SimpleDateFormat strange behavior -

if execute code:

string info = "08/02/1941"; simpledateformat dateformat = new simpledateformat("dd/mm/yyyy"); date date = dateformat.parse(data);

i have in output date: sat feb 08 01:00:00 cest 1941

instead if execute code:

string info = "08/02/1971"; simpledateformat dateformat = new simpledateformat("dd/mm/yyyy"); date date = dateformat.parse(data);

the date is: sat feb 08 01:00:00 cet 1971.

why have difference (cet , cest)?

my timezone europe/berlin (utc+1) , i'm using java 1.7.0_67-b01

the times zones of europe shifted around dramatically during , after war. example, this post (supposedly royal observatory of greenwich) describes of these shifts including "double" dst. these shifts interesting cases of time zones playing important role in history. at to the lowest degree 1 academic uses term "chronopolitics" such phenomenon.
