h4 was played indeed since the c7 pawn is also hanging for a quite a few moves after 
xd5. But the whole game feels weird. It is hard to believe a master of Tartatakower's strength, with his good sense of dynamism, played a move such as 15. dxc5 in that position. Or maybe in those times the queenside majority was really overrated but it's 1933 already. Usually when such moves happen it means some miscalculation is involved so there's that. Anyway 15. 
f4 
fe1! with the idea 16... cxd4? 17.
