Did the Nazis really go after churches? Thought it was only those critical of the gov
The Bolshevik jews destroyed churches all over Russia. I don't think the Nazis destroyed any except as collateral damage in war.
Quote from Mein Kampf:

Hitler was Christian. Don’t let any Jew revisionists tell you otherwise
But they did go after some pastors like boenhoffer(sp?)

The short answer is no. The longer answer is, it's complicated and usually it was the church or the people there. Not just because it was a church.
They were dealing with subversive commies and various Jewish groups back then.
