That makes sense. The three letter month abbreviation is unusual in Germany, so that idea didn't cross my mind.
When I'm writing dates for work I always use the three letter month abbreviation (01-Sep) because it is totally unambiguous, doesn't matter what country or time recording system that gets forwarded on to, they know what date I meant and can't slip-slide out of it with an "oopsie date format" excuse!
