This is not a difficult decision surely. Your prospects of making 5spade are not high - partners values will be in the wrong suit. Conversely, you have trump control and a singleton, so it must be right to double.

You lead your diamond hoping for a ruff and the sight of dummy is like Germany's defence - a wonderful delight to behold, but how are you going to best exploit the situation. Declarer wins diamondA and leads a trump. It's your move.
