[issue41874] datetime.strptime raises error if date is before 1900

[Red Rooster]

New submission from Red Rooster <mark.muzenhardt at googlemail.com>:

This fails, because the date is before 1900:
d = datetime.strptime("28. Februar 1899", '%d. %B %Y')

But the opposite conversion direction works:
d=datetime(1899,2,28)
d.strftime('%d. %B %Y')

prints out "28. Februar 1899" as it should be.
