Probably the best German longsword book that I gleaned the most from when I first started out was "Sword Fighting: An Introduction to handling a Long Sword" by Herbert Schmidt.

I have several books, and I'd point you to:
Sword Fighting: An Introduction to handling a Long Sword by Herbert Schmidt - this covers the German Liechtenauer techniques.
Mastering the Art of Arms Vol 2: The Medieval Longsword by Guy Windsor - this covers the Italian Fiore techniques.
Both books are modern interpretations of the historical techniques, written by instructors, with lots of photographs showing multiple angles of a particular action. Useful for a beginner and an intermediate practitioner as you can see exactly what you are suppose to do, instead of having to decipher a translation or drawing.
