In a number of reports the date of Indigirka's end is given as 12/12/39; in the article I used Rold Skiold's report[1] because it is detailed providing the time: 0220. His report indicates that the Japanese were not told of the trapped prisoners for 3 days which, however, appears doubtful, as the NYT reports already on 12/14 of a potential loss of about 700 people.[2].Ekem (talk) 13:57, 31 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
