I would think they wouldnt let Germany have much of an army, since bad things happened in the past?

I think that's entirely up to Germany. Are there any restrictions on Germany's armed forces?

Also, the Nazi's built up their military in secret, when everyone else thought they were making cars and other peacetime machinery.

... financed by the City of L and WS and it's money printer 'Reichsbank'

What about military size? Does Germany have any agreements in place to stay under some maximum military capacity?

Never heard of this. But it's possible

I think they can only have 100,000 men. Oh, seems I am wrong, they increased their military a bit recently. But they were limited for a long time.

I heard of 165.000

It says its about 190,000 because of the russian attack on ukraine. They increased it lately.

I believe the USA has a big base there. There must be some kind of restrictions.
