I wonder whether, upon clicking the links, there is any indication about the change in visible content.

Link should end with '.html', not '.htm':

I think technically a URL/URI is only supposed to contain ASCII characters, and certain things that expect URL input will want ASCII only. However, all modern browsers can convert from Unicode to punycode (in the domain name) and percent-encoding (in the path). So I don't really understand why browsers only let you copy the percent-encoded form easily.

Try going to e.g. https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A7%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BD%CE%BF...
When visiting the page (at least on Firefox), the location bar displays the intended characters, but when copying it you get the percent-encoded form. If the reason for percent-encoding was just to make scams more obvious, shouldn't the form shown in the browser interface also be URL-encoded?
By the way, it seems like that is a much stronger argument when applied to domian names than when applied to the part of the URL after the slash.

The USSR was not part of the Axis. Quite the opposite. (Although they did have a non-aggression pact with Germany before the start of the war, that did not last long.)
Which just goes to show that many Americans aren't really aware of how the Soviets were crucial to winning that war.

They seem to have that warning on every single page of catalog.archives.gov. That solution seems much easier than figuring out whether each individual item requires a warning or not.
