If you look more carefully, it is also based on a Nazi law which has never been rescinded. Indeed, the right is limited but not only to the Volga Germans et al. from the east. To be sure, it would not at all be easy for an American, say, to establish a claim, but the right exists if only residually. Blood does count.

Again, you are mistaken. The NAZI laws were rrepealed by the Federal Rrepublic of Germany. There were previous laws, such as those for the Huegenots. The treaty of nantes for example. The Reich made major changes to such laws in 1913. The NAZI reforms came and went, leaving earlier and later Right of Return laws in effect. With the most recent changes about 1999, the only Right of Return laws are related to the German descendants in the former Warsw pact nations. None of these Right of Return laws conferred automatic German citizenship, at birth or any other time afterwards. These laws only provided an entitlement to naturalization as a German citizen. Naturalized citizens are by definition not natural born citizens.
