I believe that the German constitution forbids nukes. Would that mean they would have to be destroyed? Would they alter the constitution, or would the constitution just be another empty document that neither the French or the Germans will honor, or is the new treaty the empty document. It all gets so confusing when liars are involved.

No, the German constitution does not forbid nukes. In fact, the German government was already authorised by the parliament to build up own nuclear weapons in the late 50´s. But D.C. called Adenauer to cancel these plans, because of French, British and Soviet concerns. Adenauer agreed and so, later, several treaties were signed compelling Germany give up the idea of nukes. But what are treaties - Germany could just follow the US example!
However, such a union is crap and will never become reality. Germany would never want it.
