Two goals apiece from Florian Wirtz and Tim Kleindienst helped to secure top spot in Nations League Group A3 with a game to spare.
The Germans, who had already qualified for the quarter-finals, are on 13 points with the Netherlands in second place on eight, and are eager to re-establish themselves as an international force ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
"We have no injuries from the game and our counter-pressing was extraordinarily good," said Nagelsmann after their biggest win since he took over in 2023. "And then to score seven goals against an opponent sitting so deep is something.
"We wanted to win possession and then quickly play the ball forward, be quick in transition and find those runs, something we did not do often enough at the Euros (in June). We did it well."
