In that way they achieved max speed more quickly that just waiting for it to build up at max rpm.
Vmax occurs at maximum rpm even in a variable pitch propeller. A CSP automatically adjust pitch to maintain rpm.

What will see in a variable pitch propeller is an rpm decrease as the speed picks up.

The pilot should adjust the pitch to reestablish maximum rpm.
