Depends on the person. Some speak only one language, some speak more than one. Each country has at least some people who speak 2 languages or more. A further point: Most Germans learn English at school, often to a respectable or high standard. In fact, in Germany people who cannot speak (and read) a foreign language are considered uneducated.

Most Germans do have some understanding of the English language. Its a requirement in primary and secondary schools to learn English. Those Germans over 65, probably have little or no command of the English language.

Yes, most of the younger generation of Germans speak English very well due to its mandatory instruction throughout their primary education. As well as being taught in schools, the German culture as a whole is very much centered on American culture and emulates its language, music and fashion, like much of the world.

A traveler from an English speaking country would be wise to learn the more elementary German words and phrases but truth be told, one would find it easy enough to get by without knowing the entirety of the German language.

Sure, some do. Most don't. In Germany, German is the national language and English is commonly studied as a second language.
