20:00 GMT is 8pm GMT.

The Germans mostly use "24 Hour" time (Also known as Zulu or Military time). Others use "12 Hour AM/PM" time. Depends on preference. 7am=0700.....11am=1100.....1pm=1300 (Because past Noon, just keep going to 24 Hours)....and 8pm=2000.

GMT-Greenwich Mean Time (Through London) - This line is internationally recognized as the 'foundation' for determining time-zones. The International Date Line is on the other side of the World.

Three common ones I see:
The following depend on "Daylight Savings Time":
CEST - Central European Standard Time=GMT+1 (Covers German, Austria, etc.)

EST - Eastern Standard Time=GMT-5 (Eastern USA, Mexico)

CST - Central Standard Time=GMT-6 (Central USA)

OK, thanks. Like I said, depends on Daylight Savings Time. I can never keep it straight either. :D

Nevertheless we are currently at GMT+2, for the whole summer. That's why it is called CEST = Central European Summer Time.

The other half of the year (November-March) we are at GMT+1. That is "normal" time, CET = Central European Time
