You should read E*Trade's following page then, because they do trade on the Frankfurt exchange as indicated below and confirmed today by their brokers.

(Germany XETRA Stock Exchange EDE)

Not only that, if you have an E*Trade account and goto Global Trading dashboard, in there you can select the market drop down list which includes the following markets:
Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom

XETRA is the Frankfurt exchange. http://deutsche-boerse.com/dbag/dispatch/en/kir/gdb_navigation/about_us/20_FWB_Frankfurt_Stock_Exchange

"The Frankfurt Stock Exchange facilitates advanced electronic trading, settlement and information systems. Thus, it is able to meet the steadily growing requirements of cross-border trading. Besides traditional floor trading, its fully electronic trading system XETRA® is one of the leading electronic trading platforms in the world. With its launch in 1997, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange succeeded not only in strengthening its own competitive position. It also created attractive framework conditions for foreign investors and market participants."

What this means to existing E*Trade customers using Global Trading is that you will be able to trade these shares freely using E*Trade's Global Trading system, I believe it is $19.99EUR per trade though.
