Yeah I lived in Germany and speaking German was not encouraged. In France, they pretended they didn't speak English and ignored you if you spoke in broken French.

Most Germans are just trying to be helpful when they talk to you in English. You can straight up tell them "Wir können auch Deutsch sprechen" and they will have no problem switching.
