Buying US helicopters when they've been developing one with France. But Germany has no choice: It has been literally occupied by the US forces and it's only recently that it has regained the right to have an army, but there are still 200k US troops in Germany (among other means of influence).
Germany had it's Bundeswehr the whole time since it joined the Nato 1955 same year the US occupation officially ended. And there are not even remotely 200k us Troops in Germany anymore.
No idea where you get your Infos from, bit a short googling would show that this is simply not true.
