I wonder why a woman with dual American and German citizenship would be willing to take part in this kind of plot.

I don't know; I'm still trying to figure out why a woman would marry a jerk whose opinion of women is that they are livestock, somewhat higher than dogs.

Can't fix stupid, I guess.

I wonder why a woman with dual American and German citizenship would be willing to take part in this kind of plot.

My guesses are:
A) Cast-off daughter of a GI
B) Camp-follower former spouse of a GI who got married in order to get her permanent pass to the land of the big PX, then dumped him.

Call me cynical, but I saw plenty of examples of both when I was there in the 1980s.
