The answer provided by the government does not make a specific claim they can decrypt PGP or SSH. The question is quite vague - can the government decrypt, at least partially, encrypted communications (e.g. PGP or SSH) The answer is even vaguer, something along the lines of 'The deployed technology is, in principle, capable of that, depending on the type and quality of encryption'. Both the question and the answer are so woolly they can mean anything from 'German intelligence can partially decrypt ROT13' to 'German intelligence can read 4096 bit PGP encrypted messages like a morning newspaper'. One can also be reasonably sure that in the extremely unlikely event some entity somewhere were capable of breaking PGP, they'd go to great lengths not to tell anyone about it - such a (again, wildly improbable) capability becomes a lot less valuable if it was common knowledge.
