Depends on how nicely the US asks and how much they can avoid attracting public attention. Germany apparently[0][1] still maintains secret contracts with the US (and supposedly other former Allied forces) despite the supposed "full sovereignty" provided in the Two-Plus-Four Agreement of 1990. Also the lackluster official response to the NSA revelations and other US diplomatic debacles indicates the German government values the German-American relationships much higher than the well-being of German residents[2] (if not citizens).
