I don't know how much coverage her outburst gets in the UK mainstream media, the BBC/Guardian liberal axis, for example; but I heard an interview with three Germans about the decision to give Leopard tanks to Ukraine.

The BBC found three young German women, identified only by their first names. We were told nothing, absolutely nothing else about them. They all spoke extremely good english, which puts them in a very narrow group in Germany. All of them agreed that it was about time! What had Scolz been up to, he had certainly taken his time making a fairy simple and obvious decision to do what was right to help Ukraine!

And this was presented as being a representative snapshot of German public opinion!

I'm not sure about the speaking excellent English comment, in my experience, the majority of well-educated Germans speak excellent English and French or Spanish too. However, it's still pretty likely these three were selected for their war-narrative supporting views. Checking this out, nearly 60% speak English well enough to get by, younger Germans tend to speak very good English. (computer use, international outlook, travel etc) Whether this might change with the UK leaving the EU will be interesting to see.

English will be the lingua franca. I don't expect changes. It's the nature of the beast.
