I would think that you were exaggerating but when I was in Amsterdam once I truly was amazed that actually everyone could speak English. In Germany, especially in Berlin, it's not like Netherlands but most people also do. The biggest difference is Germans are really shy about speaking a different language so they first try speaking German really slowly with hand gestures even when they speak English much better than I do :)
