Yeah but it wasn't out of virtue. He didn't oppose German fascism because it was an immoral and ruthless ideology. He opposed it because it was a threat to Britain's power and influence. He was famously antisemitic and capitulated to the reich until the moment it became impossible to do so.
Gave the Nazis a lot of support because they were going after socialists and Communists and that was the big fear of the industrialists. Instead of some moderate reform they got to deal with a supreme leader that started a world war.
Thwy might have been better off with moderate reform than world war the rich.
Hence the "strictest definition." He was of the letter but not the spirit.
My bad I was not reading closely enough. I do be abiding by strict definitions though
