The liberals sided with Hitler - Zentrum and DVP. The Social Democrats resisted until they were dissolved, after which they continued resistance activities underground and in exile, while the Communists vacillated between supporting and opposing Hitler as their marching orders from Moscow demanded. Nevertheless, "After Hitler, us!" is the attitude generally attributed to the German Communist Party, not the liberals or the SocDems.
How?
It was literally THE conservative catholic party. That was its entire thing.
Well that and the OG culture war.
Zentrum was strongly Catholic, but not conservative in the German tradition. It was not militarist and believed strongly in a restricted economic role for the state, as well as nominal democracy and minority rights, and relied on the support of the middle class. You could maybe argue that Zentrum wasn't a liberal party in the German Empire, but in the Weimar Republic it very much was a liberal party, in the literal and abstract classical sense.
