It's a real archived article from April 1, 1939

A real archived article from...1 April, 1939.

I don't think it's an April Fool's article, but from just the headline it would not be unreasonable to conclude that.

It's a clickbait title. From what I see it basically says that Hitler gave democracies a common enemy to fight against and rally to defend their system
