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.
