Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: AP European Question.

Do you mean today or during the Cold War?

Germany

Today, Germany fields the largest army in Western Europe; 600,000 men strong, the Bundeswehr is well-trained and equipped with the latest in modern weaponry including tactical nuclear weapons (placed under American command-and-control procedures.) Faithful to NATO defense guidelines, West Germany has become the privileged ally of the United States in the Atlantic Alliance.

I assume you mean during the Cold War. American weapons were in West Germany in western europe. Short range missiles were also deployed In Southern Europe (Italy and Turkey) but they were later withdrawn after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
