They will send you back and most likely impose ban... It goes further if there are lots of cases from Canadian RTD Holders violating schengen border entry requirement, German may rescind decision and re-impose visa.
Correct, transiting through Schengen state to final destination “shengen” require visa. You will go through border control when transit eroute to other shengen state
I've sent email to Germany consulate to confirm if germany is visa free. As their email below, yes it is visa free for RTD:

In general, the Canadian gray travel document (certificate of identity), unfortunately, is not recognized by German authorities as a valid travel document, and hence cannot be used for trips to Germany, not even for transits.
A visa can also not be issued into this document.
However, holders of a blue Canadian Travel Document (Convention of July 28th, 1951) do not need a visa for transit and/or short term stay (e.g. for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days) in Germany.
It is recommended to book a direct flight to Germany without transiting through other Schengen countries. If you are transiting through Austria for instance, you will need a visa.
