It’s in the public domain because it’s a work by the US federal government? It would seem that this is more a work of Germany’s federal government, if not a private document…
My guess would be that we don’t enforce Nazi era German copyrights, though I don’t know anything about it specifically. I seem to recall hearing on a Simpsons commentary track that we still don’t enforce certain Soviet-era copyrights.

Is the federal government “source” the published translation?
