They signed the concordat with the Catholic Church.

So what?

The Concordat of 1933 was simply an expansion of existing concordats between the Vatican and the German states of Bavaria, Baden, and Prussia. The Vatican had more than a century of concordats behind it at this point (starting with Napoleon in 1814); by the death of Pius XI in 1939 there were 41 separate concordats on the books.

A concordat is nothing more than an attempt to negotiate a legal document to ensure the Church's ability to function lawfully and unmolested with its just liberties intact. Your attempt to portray the 1933 concordat as evidence of sinister Catholic-Nazi complicity is a lie.
