The us already has a full blown military base IN Germany - there is likely plenty of intelligence sharing already and similar interests around security. Not sure US needs to back door too heavily for most info

Allies spy on each other all the time. There was a big affair of US spying on Merkel a couple of years ago.

"A military base" is really understating it.

Germany not only has several important bases, like Ramstein with the largest American military hospital outside American soil, and several other large bases (K-Town), but also houses two of eleven unified combatant commands in a single city: EUCOM and AFRICOM are both in Stuttgart.

Needless to say there's plenty of CIA around as well. Just look at the welcome guide for Frankfurt for new officers in the field from one of the more recent leaks. Can't remember which.
