I wondered the same, but then the presenter does laugh nervously. I think it's mildly offensive towards today's Germans, who probably won't take kindly to it, but it would've been 100x more offensive if used in reference to the Israeli national side [cue something angry from Fidel].
Incidentally, for better or worse, he would never have worked on TV again had he said it over here.

Most likely the second. It was obviously intended as a joke. Although I don't see what's supposed to be particularly funny or clever about it. It's the "Dressing as Hitler on Halloween" of catchphrases.
