Yes people have looked into US government agency copyright outside of the US see links in first paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain#U.S._g... though don't know if anyone has specifically looked into US government works and German law.

That entry has a link to http://www.usa.gov/copyright.shtml#Exceptions

“The U.S. government may assert copyright outside of the United States for U.S. government works.”

Too bad :/
