hitler wasn't a pure fascist

Again, that's not how fascism works. It doesn't have to be a carbon copy of the original Mussolini fascism in order to be fascism.

as evil as they both were there are differences.

Yes, but the similarities are such that they still both fit into the basic category of fascism.

It's nitpicking ofc

That, and a misunderstanding of what constitutes fascism.

It fits todays definition of fashism.

Not the one in the 1920-30-40, that was why I said "historically".

I don't disagree with you.

They were absolutely considered, and often called, fascists back then. Especially during the war.
