The nationality problem related to births is relatively common with US
citizens stationed in NATO countries. Imagine you are a citizen
of Ireland and the USA serving in the US Army and are temporarily
present (assigned to) a US base in WE. Germany that has no
extraterritorial rights, but on which US administration operates and
certain US law applies. By treaty you are not resident in Germany -
only there as part of the sending state forces in Germany with status
similar to but not as all encompassing as that given to diplomats.
Imagine you are married to a German citizen wife you married in the
USA, who by marriage is officially a dependent of a member of the US
Forces under the treaty, and officially resident in Germany. Imagine
the German wife gives birth to a baby in a US military hospital on a
base in Italy while her husband was on temporary duty across the
border in Croatia?
I've got a couple of newspaper articles abbout this that appeared in
the US military daily newspaper Stars and Stripes. It might take me
awhile to dig them out, but I will if anyone is interested.
Here's another question to ponder. When Berlin was allied occupied,
and it was officially not part of W. Germany, what did people who were
born in Berlin get as passports? Of what were they citizens or
nationals?
