I don’t get this “occupation area for German soldiers during World Wars I and II”. Is there any record of Germans (other than Jewish settlers) in Palestine during either war?

The Krauts didn’t occupy Jerusalem during the Second World War. I’d have to research to see if there were any German troops there during the period of the First World War when the area was controlled by the Ottomans. In any event, history isn’t the writer’s strong point.

From the Daily Mail ARTICLE

An ancient rural estate comprising a manor house, large wine press (pictured), Roman bathhouse and Jewish Mikye, or ritual bath, has been unearthed in Jerusalem beneath a famous orphanage.

Some bricks are stamped with the name of the Tenth Roman Legion (pictured), suggesting soldiers were garrisoned there, having played a role in the conquest of Jewish Jerusalem in 70AD

The archaeologists also uncovered the foundations of a bathhouse, including terracotta pipes (pictured above) used to heat the building. This technology was widely used in Roman bathhouses
