Possible criticism by German citizens of Hitler's view of Slavs as inferior

Is it possible that there were any German citizens who dared to question Hitler's belief that Slavic peoples were racially inferior to Aryans? I wanted to ask because, bearing in mind the fact that German Jews were deprived of gun ownership rights even though pure Germans could own guns, a small number of Germans may have chosen to pan Hitler for disparaging Slavs as inferior, and thus risk being arrested by the Gestapo (of course, Hitler didn't know that Soviet workers had put energy into turning the USSR into an industrial power, meaning that Slavs were never as inferior to Aryans as Hitler claimed).

Check out the database of the DÖW (Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance ) and you will find people of that kind. oppsition by eg. supporting POW or inviting forced laborers on the table of the farmer´s family (where they worked), etc...
Of course Austria is not Germany really but it was part of the Reich in WWII.

According to the Nazi ideology the Poles were Aryans too.
The Poles weren't considered inferior pre-war, during the war they were designated racially inferior as punishment for their resistance in 1939. That was partially rescinded after Stalingrad.
