English is official language of the German army

Have you noticed when watching a movie set during the second World War, that German soldiers all speak English, not only to Allied troops, but with each other? Wouldn’t you think that they should logically be shown speaking German, with English sub titles for the audience, or because the movie is filmed in English, they’ll simply speak English (when they would actually be speaking German) to avoid the use of sub titles.
Right; so because it’s an English language movie, the Germans will simply speak English for the understanding of the audience. So why are they then speaking English with a German accent? Why is that?
