There seem to be two points jammed together there.

Spielberg is one of the most talented directors alive. Could a German director have made a film about the Holocaust? Even an adaptation of Schindler's List? Of course. Would it have had the impact of Spielberg's Schindler's List? Probably not. I like Werner Herzog and Tom Tykwer. But they wouldn't have made the same movie.

The way history is taught in the USA is a little bit different than in Germany. The majority of Germans were / are decent people, even the soldiers. How did they not see it coming? That is easy to say in hindsight after you have the facts from both sides. If you hear often enough that they are out to get you, eventually you become paranoid.
