And I am really sick and tired of reading about the banal arguments about the "collaborationist" Orthodox Church, as if the Catholic Church stood up to aggression and tyraany. Did German Catholic priests urge young parishoners NOT to serve in the Nazi military?

A good many did. Remember, Himmler left the Catholic Church to join the SS. You could be Catholic (or confessional Lutheran) and be in the Whermact, but not the SS.

I think that was way before Hitler got elected Chancellor. Once the Nazi regime was established I seriously doubt too many clergymen were speaking out against it.
