As far as I knew NATO has a nuclear sharing plan, while almost all details are classified I was able to find this open source

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing

The first paragraph deals with NATO, it says that in peacetime the weapons are under custody and control of USAF Munitions Support Squadrons co-located on NATO main operating bases who work together with the host nation forces

Here is a list of the USAF Munitions Support Squadrons

Although not found on the list RAF Welford is the largest ammunition compounds for the United States Air Force in Western Europe for heavy munitions. It home to the 420 Munitions Squadron, this base might serve as addition storage for weapons.

Now the paragraph dose mention that in war time the weapons would be moved and mounted on the applicable delivery systems. Now since the war did not go nuclear right away. These weapons would might be kept in storage as an add safety measure against possible Soviet Spetsnaz attack.

I wonder if any weapons would be left as they were all tactical weapons and the timeline mentions, tactical then ICBM were used.

It would fun adventure though for a group of PC's. A convoy of vehicles traveling to a site to recover weapons and return to Bremerhaven
