There is a dispute in the Bundestag over a missile alarm at the US military base Ramstein in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Politicians from several political groups are calling for an urgent investigation into the incident.
US soldiers stationed there received automated messages on December 12, warning of an attack.
For minutes one mistakenly assumed an emergency.
The US base confirmed that it was not an exercise on the base.
The alarm was assigned to the rocket launch of another nation.
It remains unclear whether this refers to fired Russian ICBMs.
According to its own information, the federal government has not yet been able to assess this.
How it came to the misjudgment that it was an actual attack is still unclear.

This annoys the Defense Committee, which asks for more information.
Alexander Neu (left) said: "There are a lot of questions about how exactly everything went." Tobias Lindner (Greens) said: "The Bundestag also needs to be fully informed when it comes to exchanges with the US government."
Upon request, the Federal Ministry of Defense pointed out that the "alleged air attack" had been resolved quickly and that there was no threat.
