They are NOT the same. There are various English accents but british is even more ambiguous as Britain refers to the whole of the british isles, so both Irish and scottish are british accents. English accents just refer to those originating in England, so Cockney (London) and Geordie (Newcastle) accents are English

not really, since a Brit can certainly recognize a German accent of a German speaking English. However, to an American, some words spoken by a German may very well sound British. This is because many Germans learn English from teachers who are from England (or they practice while traveling to England).
