He was a traitor to the Nazi-controlled late Weimar Republic. He was a hero and a patriot to the later BRD and modern state of Germany. Maybe that's the best way to see it, then?

Even then, the definition doesn't matter since he made a big contribution in efforts of World Peace by whistle blowing what is going on, which was ignored in many cases, hence the fallout scenario later, so being a "traitor" =

Which was the original point in the first place.
