Both were born in a US Army hospital in Germany, one in West Germany, the other in Berlin. But I knew of several instances where the child was born in a German hospital because either the child needed some type of medical attention not available in the local military hospital or the parents lived too far away from a military hospital. Towards the end of my tour at Zweibrucken AB it was common for all children to be born in the local Germany hospital because the base did not have a 24 hour medical facility.

I was stationed at Zweibruken AB as well. The Canadians made the base, so it had an excellent ice rink for hockey or skating. I helped close the base down in 1991.

A neighbor on mine eldest son, of two American citizens, was born at the US Army’s Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in 1981, and subsequently his son was issued a German birth certificate. When he became of age, the German government sent him a letter to his United States residence that said he would have to do compulsory military service as he was under the jurisdiction of Germany.

So is his son a natural born citizen?
