Yes, quite a large percentage do, but not on a fluent scale. Due to English being a subject which all Germans must take at school and English being the international language, it is quite popular in Germany and has even led to the creation of Denglisch(English words making their way into the German language, i.e. to verb to download, usually is herunterladen although downloaden has become popular).
Germans often swear quite a lot in English as opposed to German which shocks some people, so be careful if you're a tourist because there's a good chance people know what you're saying!
All-in-all, a good percentage of the population speak basic English, but know more hoarse language, too.
