I think this factoid gets spun out of proportion. Iirc German could ve become the language of science or one field of science. But it was never a contender for the language of trade or diplomacy (the latter being held by french for a long time).
This was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to a time period from roughly the late 30s to the mid 40s of the last century… but of course you are correct 😉
