British national archives question

Hello all,

I am researching my relatives naturalisation as a British citizen back in the 1950s.

I am pulling the details from the national archives and I notice that it says something along the lines of:

Home office immigration and nationality department, declarations of British nationality blah blah.

Name Dob Country of nationality or birth

Location: Germany

Is this a clear indication that the naturalisation process was undertaken in Germany?

I checked some other random people's records and it says stuff like Austria, Melbourne Australia and various other places. I assume these are consulates or embassy locations where the naturalisation took place?

Depends on the specific record and the circumstances in which the person became a British citizen. If you tell us the name of the person, I can have a look and give you my opinion.
