Nuclear Bomb for Germany: Is It Time For A German Nuclear Bomb?
www.zeit.de
As the U.S. turns its back on security commitments, Germany faces a profound shift in its post-war defense policy. Can it still rely on France and the UK?

Germany is at a crossroads when it comes to its security policy — one of the deepest upheavals of the post-War era.

    You can improvise a few test bombs that way, but that is not a credible nuclear deterrence.

      Why not? Plutonium supremacy? ;)

      It would take longer and use more energy but the boom is the same in the end. Did Germany ever have a breeder/dual use reactor? If not you’d have to build one first anyway and i bet that takes longer than building a shitton of centrifuges.

      And isn’t the issue with a credible nuclear deterrence the delivery and second strike capability anyway? Germany would need submarines and icbms too.

        Germany build a fully complete breeder reactor and then decided to never turn it on. It is a theme park now.
