France surrenders to Germany, just to be safe.

You'd have to quantify this a little better. Would it be like 1939 Germany's military compared to the rest of the world's, or of a similar size to the modern day Germany's?

Not really. How many nukes does Germany have, and how powerful are they? Details are important.

Same nuke abilities as modern Germany.

That's an absurd scenario because modern equipment is massively more expensive and Germany only reached its peak strength after yearso f a wartime economy anyway.

M.A.D.
Has never been the doctrine of any power. And you've completely failed to quantify Germanys nuclear arsenal

They don't, there is no question about this. Though if they wanted to they could build some low yield devices fairly quickly. As for what nations besides the US have them.

Left column is those with nuclear weapons, the right side is those nations with chemical and or biological weapons or at least with programs to develop them.
