At what point did Germany have it's own nukes? Surely we have the technology and the means to have them, and we have american nukes stationed here but I'm not aware that we ever had any nukes of our own.

Whole point of the sharing is so you have the protection of Nuclear weapons, without having an independent control over them. While these are "shared" they are basically a compromise for you having your own weapons. Half-way measure. But in reality, it is basically you having your own weapons.

I thought it was more a thing of the US spreading them around and also a matter of range in the beginning since ICBMs didn't exist in the early days of the nuclear age.
And we don't need them anyway as long as France has them, while the nationalistic islanders who deny being part of Europe anyway, aka the British, may just watch us getting overrun by whoever (the soviets back then), I doubt the French would.![]()

Those 'perfidious' Brits spent forty years maintaining 60,000 troops in Germany during the coldwar, and even now there are 25,000 British troops stationed there.
