No not really. The nukes, that were stationed in Ramstein for example, were not under german control. Its a US military base staffed with US soldiers. Its currently unknown if they still have nukes there, but i assume thats where these would go.

Germany itself doesnt have any nukes.

That's reassuring, the splendid democracy US of A has proven to always elect reliable and trustworthy presidents, who has the ultimate authority over such weapons! Totally looking forward for the upcoming election, both candidates are great, especially the orange one!

The U.S. has the weapons already whether or not they're in Germany. That particular genie is out of the bottle.
