wouldn't they all speak german amongst themselves? i get it, it's for an american audience. so have them speak german with english subtitles or english without an accent. same criticism for any movies with accented English portraying foreign natives speaking together.

Germans speak with an English accent because most were tutored by Englishmen.

what confused me was in Schindler's list when Ralph Fiennes spoke English w/ a German accent while Liam Neeson spoke w/ an English accent in the same movie.

spielberg has an interesting internal tug-of-war going on with his jewishness. his movies are mostly about the completely goyish world of his little boy protagonists, and there's a lot of pro-christian stuff in his movies.
