not reading german date format properly

[Fritz]

reads date and time information only if no leading zeros are used.

Examples:
Read properly:
7.3.2010 (= german date format for march 7, 2010)
and
7.3.10

Not good:
07.03.2010
is read as (german equivalent of) "zero seven dot zero third two thousand and ten"

First impression (without actually checking) is that this is caused by a builtin speech dictionary rule which is intended to ensure that preceding 0s are spoken. It does this by inserting a space.

hmm, I think it is good how it is. If you don't to want hearing 0 before the date you could add an entry to your dictionarry.
