The guys at Radio Le Mans definitely said it was something to do with the DTM scheduling. So they can get the drivers from England to Germany (e.g. Tomcyck, Farfus, Rockenfeller).

As explained above, it has nothing to do with the DTM, the 24h race week traditionally incorporates a holiday so people don't have to take another day off work.
That the unusual schedule this allows the DTM drivers to do the race is merely a positive side effect. It's just three guys and the 24h race doesn't really focus that much on drivers either..it's not like 20% of the fans wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the DTM drivers.
Nobody would push back the race for this, it's just a coincidence.
