Military wouldn't be involved in something like this unless they were expecting world war 3. this would be CIA/BND + need to know politicians on either side of the fence who purchased the raid. Actual boots would be contractors. This would require Merkel to directly sign off on. BND iirc reports directly to their chancellor.
If Journalists want to know they need to ask the US ambassador in Germany. That is a public facing official who would be a need to know if the US was involved in a raid on German soil.
