As far as I know, the current copies of this film descend from a 35mm print with English titles, and the German titles (at least the set I have seen) are modern, although the texts are authentic, based on the censor cards.

If you go to the Pacific Film Archive's very useful Cinefiles website:
http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/search/cinefiles
and search on "Destiny", several clicks later, you'll find scans of the German intertitles.
This PFA project essentially is a digital version of their clipping files and vertical files, resulting from a major investment in scanning and permissions requests. The transcriptions of foreign language intertitles were acquired over time as PFA borrowed prints from overseas archives, and needed to prepare the English-language translations in advance.

But thanks anyway, at least, i may be able to begin with something.
