I was born in Germany in 1949 and have a German birth certificate. My mother was a German citizen, as were my Oma and Opa(a veteran of WWI and 3 uncle in the Wehrmacht- 2 dying on the Eastern Front). I was born before my parents wed. My father was in the USAAF . Am I eligible for German citizenship. It is mostly a matter of pride for me and I do still have family in Germany.

PS: I am a US citizen and want to keep it. My mother also became US citizen in middle '50's.

You are eligible to claim German citizenship BUT German law does not allowed dual citizenship, so you have to choose one.
