Why didn't the Germans or French develop real attack helicopters?

I almost posted this in the historic aviation forum, but I don’t think the Cold War was that far back.

Anyway why didn’t the French and Germans especially build attack helicopters like the Americans and Soviets? The Germans relied on the far less capable armed Bo-105, they could’ve at least bought some Cobras. The French could’ve built a derivative of the Puma like the South Africans eventually tried to do. There’s no reason they couldn’t built something like a Hind with Puma or even Super Frelon parts. It did seem both countries were very lukewarm towards the concept until they got their acts together jointly developing the Tiger.
