I could not find that article with Google either with my normal Dunkirk Nolan search sorted by most recent, neither in Google nor Google News. I could only find that article with Google by searching for a unique quote from the article.

Nice find. Good article.

I like what Nolan says about the characters being "inspired by but not slavishly based on" actual eyewitnesses.
I think Rylance's character is at least partly inspired by Charles Lightoller, and Hardy's character may be partly inspired by Peter Cazenove.

Cazenove's Spitfire was recently recovered and restored.

So it that DGA it is stated that a lot of the movie plays at night. There were no night scenes in the trailers right?

That is why I asked how he/she found it!

That article does not surface with a regular Google search.
