In any case, Germany has no such jurisdiction over American citizens
regarding crimes committed in Iraq and/or Guantanamo Bay (an American
base and American territory).




That's apparently not accurate. From the article, "Germany was chosen for
the court filing because German law provides "universal jurisdiction"
allowing for the prosecution of war crimes and related offenses that take
place anywhere in the world."

Whether the US recognizes this jurisdiction is another matter.
