It means that a person who is born in the United States is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and is a U.S. citizen at birth. This includes persons born to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe.

How were you classified as German?

You don't say whether you mean legally or culturally.Citizenship laws are complicated ... In general, if you had a parent with German citizenship at the time of your birth and have no other citizenship you are a German citizen. (Place of birth is irrelevant). Obviously naturalized Germans have citizenship. There are some others who may have a claim to citizenship - which is not the same thing as citizenship itself.If you mean culturally German, then self-identification and the ability to speak German as a native speaker are crucial.

This question is meaningless, it is missing punctuation.

For example, Czech birth certificates have nothing to do with US citizenship.
