Germany's big mistake was threatening to restrict their air space preventing us from flying our war planes from bases there.

You can't spend billions on bases to have a foreign politician's whims make them useless. Basically giving locals veto power over what operations you can pursue with your own base and equipment.

That is simply unacceptable. For us, I hope it is a lesson learned.
