Just a thought - can German accents be confused with other accents?
I would think so. If her native language was German she could also have been Austrian or Swiss. There are also native German speakers that part of NE Italy which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of WWI. Culturally it's still more Austrian than Italian.
It's possible that a Norwegian or Swedish accent could also be mistaken for German.
