Germany has a different sound IF (5.5 MHz instead of 4.5 MHz), a wider video bandwidth (5 MHz), and an other channel frequency raster. The best thing would to operate this set with a German RF modulator. You can buy a German RF modulator on an internet auction, see for example #120219913919 or 180213690759. I have a used UHF modulator too, if you are interested.
When operating the set, you have to check the vertical hold (60 Hz instead of 50 Hz). Horizontal hold will work with NTSC also.
