Can I claim citizenship through “jus sanguis?”
My paternal grandparents emigrated to South Africa from Berlin in 1933. My father was born in 1940 in Johannesburg and never claimed German citizenship.

Did they naturlize and renounced German nationality?
If they did the only way to get nationality us if you’re Jewish, because the assumption is your family were being prosecuted.
They only allow this because that same range of time saw a lot of “losing side Germans” running away, and they don’t have the right to the cirizenship.
I actually overheard a consul explain all this to a local family as they wanted grandma to get the nacionality and pass it down, but their gran daddy renounced 😬
