The lead image does appear to be fake.

There are other "German" Coca-Cola "ads" at the jump but this is the only image with a swastika.

The Coca-Cola logo/font is very rough. The copyright/trademark notice after it is blurred beyond recognition (and too large for the font on that poster).

The bottom font looks like a Swiss/Helvetica font which I though was more of a post-war European thing.

The whole design looks "off" (the olympic rings in that usage seem more of a post-70s thing).

My first reaction was dismay that Coke was in well enough with Adolf to get away with using such a primary Nazi slogan to advertise sugar water.

The whole article is a ripoff a 2011 blog post. Down in the comments, Norbert fingers the first image as fake, and Hendrick notes that the "Faker should have known it’s 'Getränk', not 'Getrank'".
