Don't think this is correct. The WWII bombs were fision bombs. H-bombs came later.

You're right. The hydrogen bomb was tested in 1950, as I recall.

Hope the rest of the article is a little more accurate.

From the same paragraph
Physicists have long known that smashing two deuterium atoms together can fuse them into tritium
Fusion would produce helium not another isotope of hydrogen.
