best is to call the airline in advance and ask if they are aware of the extension letter. Some airline counters employees are not familiar with this extension letter. There is good and bad experience with it from what i have read.

No experience with German airports, but my wife traveled through China quite a few times with her extension letter and expired GC with no issues.  Just one suggestion, one time the airline asked to keep a copy of the letter, so make sure you take a few with you as you do not want to give up the original.

 

Additionally, here is a copy of CBP’s Carrier Guide that is handy if an airline clerk has trouble.

 

Good Luck!
