To be honest, although I think I am pretty well informed about Nazi Germany I am not really sure what your question means.
However, since the term 'clique' means a small select group I can only assume this is referring to the most high-ranking Nazis who formed Hitler's inner circle of advisors and friends. Men such as Goering, Goebbels, Himmler etc.
On the other hand it might also mean any small group in Nazi Germany who were 'exclusive' and deliberately excluded others. So for example there were groups of young people who formed 'cliques'. Amongst these were the 'Swing Youth' who deliberately went against the regime and wore American style clothes, listened to black American jazz and danced American-style dances such as the jitterbug.
If you could provide a little more information about the context of your question I might be able to answer it better.

Ah, I see.
Then in that case you'll need to research the various groups (or cliques) of young people who for various reasons did not want to conform to Nazi ideology and the 'model' of young German people that the Nazi Party tried to promote through the Hitler Youth groups.
You can find out more about them via the links below, but briefly:
'Swing Youth' - young middle class Germans, usually, as briefly described in my first message.
'Edelweiss Pirates' (and other similar groups) - usually young working class youths in industrialised areas
Swing Youth
Swing Kids
Edelweiss Pirates and Swing Youth
Edelweiss Pirates
Teenagers who resisted ... about various individual young Edelweiss Pirates.
I'm not sure whether one would classify the 'White Rose Group' as a clique as well. They were a small group of young University students who really were fundamentally opposed to the Nazi regime. You can research them here:
The White Rose
White Rose
I hope that helps? If you need even more information it's not difficult to find on the Internet. Just use the names of the various groups ( in inverted commas " ..." ) as your search terms.
