"Sprechen Sie Deutsch" means "Do you speak German?". -- I can imagine some soldiers in WWII, in France, having asked the "mademoiselles": "Sprechen Sie Deutsch, Fräulein?" ("Parlez-vous Allemand, mademoiselle?") as this was common courtesy at that time, and may be depicted in movies. Yes. That's absolutely possible.
The word "Fräulein" (meaning "young woman" or "young lady") is no longer used in modern German. Instead, you address every woman as "Frau" and every male as "Herr". Or by their first name, which is common among younger people.
I won't go into details now about the German "Sie" (the formal address) and the colloquial "du". The "Sie" is a bit like the Spanish "usted / ustedes", but not quite.
