I imagine it may be complicated. It would certainly depend on German law. Plus, if it was on a United States military base what are the implications of that. I know babies born to US military serving overseas and US citizens. I imagine the baby is a refugee with all that implies.

Right. In Germany, where the Afghan woman’s baby was born, citizenship is not established through birth on German territory but by descent from a German legal mother and/or a German legal father. But since the baby was delivered in the cargo bay of a US aircraft, it is not clear which laws will apply in this particular case: German laws, US laws or if the baby will be considered a citizen of Afghanistan, the country to which her mother belongs.
