There doesn't seem much chance of ze Nazis reappearing or Slavic Red Hordes charging over the border so why do we maintain so many troops there?

Apparently they contribute 1.5 million Euro to the German economy that the UK could probably do with being spent on itself.

Time to bring the boys back home?

Drinking beer, fighting with locals and driving tax-free cars I think.

Thirty Euros each? I contribute more than that to the German economy biggrin
Sorry, billion, not million, so 30,000 Euro each.
