Additionally I think the German law has some clause that in order to obtain the citizenship from your parents they have to register you within a certain time after birth with the German embassy. Only exception from this are cases where the Third Reich stripped a person of his German citizenship. In this case I believe they or their children can apply for German citizenship.
