If you're citing Shakespeare, the quote is actually "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war."

This is a literary translation, so you can approach this two ways: a very close, literal translation, or a looser translation that attempts to capture the sense more than the exact wording.

Fairly literally, it would be something like "ruft Verwuestung und lasst die Kriegshunde los."

More loosely, "dogs of war" is often translated as "Kriegsfurien" (cf. Langenscheidt, meaning "the Furies of war"), so we might go with something like this: "Ruft Verwuestung und entfesselt die Kriegsfurien" or more loosely "Schafft Chaos und bindet die Kriegsfurien los." There are many other options.

I don't have a copy, but you could find the passage in one of the German translations of "Julius Caesar" and see how other German translators dealt with that line in the context of Shakespeare's play.
