Now that you know when is the second clock change to winter time 2020, let's take a look at some interesting facts about the movement of the clock itself.
"Hitler's Hour"
It is sometimes claimed that daylight savings time was proposed by Benjamin Franklin in a letter to the editors of the Paris Journal. Anyway, the article was snarky, and Franklin wasn't suggesting Daylight Savings Time, but rather that people should get up earlier and go to bed earlier. The first to really propose the switch to summer time was the English builder William Willet. The first country to listen to him and start moving the clock was Canada (1908). In Europe, Germany was the first (1916), followed by France, Great Britain and Austria. During the Second World War, Adolf Hitler also used daylight saving time, so even today many people call the movement of the clock hands "Hitler's Hour". Although summer time was abolished after the Second World War, it was reintroduced due to the energy crisis in the 1960s and 1970s.
Countries that don't move the clock

Iceland, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Russia, China, India, South America and the Republic of South Africa never move the clock, but are always in winter time.
Deadly movement of the clock
The West Bank was still on daylight saving time in September 1999, but Israel moved its clocks to winter time. Terrorists from the West Bank prepared time bombs and smuggled them into Israel. However, since they were not aware of the time change, or were completely confused by it, the bombs exploded an hour earlier than planned. Three terrorists who planned to kill 2,000 people died.
