DVDs generally have different "regions". The US and Germany are in different regions. So, it won't work, unless either the DVD specifically says on the cover that it is regionless (plays in all regions) or your DVD player has been hacked to play DVDs of all regions. It would probably be illegal for me to tell you how to do the 2nd thing, so I won't...but it is possible for some DVD players.

American DVD players, unless region 0, are region 1. German DVD's are region 2. German DVD's will also be in the PAL picture format, as compared to NTSC for American DVD's. That said, if you have a region 0 DVD player, that will read both NTSC and PAL, and output either as NTSC, you can do it. If you bought the DVD player in the US, it's highly unlikely that it is region 0. You can find out the region by looking at the back or bottom of the player. There should be a small picture of a globe with a number in it. The number will tell you the region of the player. If it is region 0, then you go into video set-up in the DVD player menu, and look for video format, this will tell you whether it accepts both PAL and NTSC, or just NTSC. If it accepts both, check for the output format. If the player will output in either format, regardless of input format, then you can play the DVD.

It is now possible to buy DVD players that play DVDs from all regions....so it depends on your dvd player...even at Walmart. THe U.S. region is # 1...so either you must have an all-region dvd player, or the dvd needs to say on the back that it can be played in region 1.
