This is because we are not currently in an elongated World War with them, or did I miss a memo?
Up to 10% of the early settlers in the US were of German heritage, which meant quite a large portion of the settlers read and spoke German as opposed to English. Even our country that is next door to Germany (I happen to be there right now) doesn't have as many residents that can speak the language.
