Re: [Cz-L] Eliminated calendar dates

Dear Kevin,
 I cannot confirm or deny the elimination of days from our calendar
  so long ago for adjusting the astronomical clock.
    Am too lazy to google it up to show knowledge.
But not long ago they removed 3 years from my calendar :
  From 1941 - 1944.
   And this had nothing to do with astronomy.
