This is called blowing coat. This is when German Shepherds loose their undercoat all at one time over the course of a couple of weekes or so - the undercoat oftentimes comes out in large tufts.
This can be hormonal or seasonal but in most cases it is simply the dog renewing it's own undercoat naturally so in order to get a new undercoat you have to get rid of the old one first.
Best advice during this time is to be patient and groom, groom, groom your dog. Learn more about it in the German Shepherd by reading here:
