Germany has never had nuclear weapons of its own, though the US has had around 60 warheads in Buchel (edit: and currently probably has about about 20 warheads) as part of the NATO Nuclear Sharing deterrent, and the Soviet Union deployed some nuclear warheads in East Germany for a time.
Edit: maybe thousands of warheads were in Germany at the height of the cold war, though a quick look through Wikipedia isn't clear about the peak number of warheads.

- KMag 5y agoThanks. I know a guy who was trained to place demolition charges on the US warheads in Buchel in case the base was overrun, and I had gotten the false impression from him that all of the warheads had since been removed.
