It got better still for England as Gabriella Ravnscroft doubled the lead with just 11 minutes played.
Germany replied 2 minutes later through Verena Wieder and although they outshot the hosts, they could not find an equaliser.
Young Lionesses substitute Ella Rutherford was sent off after a second yellow card but there was only moments left to play.
Italy were 2-0 winners over Poland in Monday’s other Group 3 game. Sara Baldi’s 12th-minute goal was added to 3 minutes from time by Asia Bragonzi.
The last group games are on Thursday March 30th, when England face Italy on the main pitch at St George’s Park (2pm), where a draw will be enough to see the home side qualify for this summer’s finals in the Czech Republic from 2 to 14 May,
Germany finish up against Poland also at 2pm this Thursday and they meet at AFC Telford United.
