I do agree to Aviatrix. From what I read your grandparents were Polish, so was your father. And even if you father had been German, he would have most likely given up his citizenship when applying for a US passport. And most likely, your father held US and not German or Polish citizenship when you were born. You certainly need a specialist lawyer, but from my layman's perspective I have doubts that you qualify for German citizenship.
