Also, I assume there is a special exception for Jewish families of German descent who were unfairly stripped of their nationality during the National Socialist period (early 1940s). There is a programme to help people re-gain their citizenship. I've read a few long-form jounalism articles (in English) about people who don't speak German
and are not German residents applying under this programme.

Pretty much anyone whose citizenship was revoked by the Nazi government, or descendants of those victims who would have had citizenship today had it not been for the Nazi government, can apply to have the citizenship reinstated. Numerically it's likely mostly Jewish families in Israel and the US, but it applies to all of the Nazis' German victims.
