I just went back and double-checked. That is the link that Ancestry used in the announcement sent to me. Then I checked the link and found that you are right: it obviously doesn’t work.
I then tried to find the corrected announcement on Ancestry’s web site and in the company’s press releases but was unable to do so. Does anyone reading this have a correct address?

The announcement says it starts PM, not AM. It’s still AM here in Washington state…

It’s saying I need a Premium membership to view the info. I can see the transcription of US WWII Draft Cards, Young Men, but not the original image.
