Do I need all my previous passports for UK visit visa?

Do I need all my previous passports for UK visit visa? - Back view of unrecognizable man walking towards ancient monument Great Sphinx of Giza

I'm currently living in Germany as an expat and I'm planning to visit UK in a couple of months. My question is do I need all my previous passports along with my current one for the application? Will it have any impact because I didn't bring with me my previous passports that are expired to Germany just my current one that only has a German visa and no prior travel history.

I already looked at the document requirements and they don't list it but has it under additional requirements. Can some one help me with this.

Thanks.
