German witneses


How come that they all speak perfect (american) English without any trace of a German accent?
Firstly i was surprised with that older lady at the beginning on how good she spoke
(i had to constantly remind myself first murder was in Germany)
but then with the every last German witness it was the same thing.
Any reason behind this?

Michael was in the military and was stationed at a US Army base in Germany. So those people were Americans living there and some of them were local Germans who just worked there and knew the family or were spouses of American servicemen. It's not that hard to figure out, really.

I knew he was at some point in the military, but missed the part about his house
being located in the US Army base, so without that info its not easy to figure it out.
