The Germans would have already had tactical nuclear weapons once hostilities* broke out for their Pershing missiles.
The warheads were kept by the US due to legal reasons in bases in West Germany, but were to be dispersed to the 2 West German Pershing Wings in wartime. The
NATO also kept a percentage of aircraft in reserve designated for nuclear weapons delivery - I am not sure if the Luftwaffe were originally included in this tasking, but if they were, then that is another source of weapons.
* Obviously not the initial hostiles with liberating East Germany, but rather once NATO became involved.
