The German squad hammered 15 goals and held a clean sheet.
Nathaniel Brown earned his first senior appearance, and Aleksandar Pavlović returned after a prolonged rehab.
The game gave early assessment drills for players who will travel to the World Cup.
Pavlović said he feels ready to attack again next season.
