moment.js with locale not working in node.js

I am validating a date in moment.js in format D. MMM YYYY and then converting it to format YYYY-MM-DD. While validating it keeps on giving me invalid date. Below is the code.

var date = '26. Mär 1995';
var mom = moment(date, "D. MMM YYYY","de", true);

 if (mom.isValid()) {
     console.log(moment(date, 'D. MMM YYYY').format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
 } else {
     console.log('invalid date')
 }

First according to the "de" locale file in the momentJS repository on Github, the shortMonth for März is Mrz. (yes with a dot .) check code below (from the same file):

monthsShort : 'Jan._Febr._Mrz._Apr._Mai_Jun._Jul._Aug._Sept._Okt._Nov._Dez.'.split('_')

Second, for your date, you don't need to reparse it, just format your moment directly:

mom.format('YYYY-MM-DD');

Putting everything together:

var date = "26. Mrz. 1995";
var mom = moment(date, "D. MMM YYYY", "de", true);

if (mom.isValid()) {
    console.log(mom.format("YYYY-MM-DD");
} else {
    console.log("invalid date");
}
