Next they can apologize for the Visigoths sacking Rome.

The Visigoths who sacked Rome settled down in Italy. Modern day Italians are descendents of both the Visigoths and their victims.

Modern-day Germans are most likely not descendents of the Visigoths who went to Spain and Italy.

That reminds me of the joke of a Mexican guy going to Spain and saying “your ancestors killed my ancestors”
and the Spanish guy saying “what are you talking about? My ancestors stayed right here — YOUR ancestors were the conquistadors as well as their victims”
