US Passport 1959 with an exciting large red stamp!

Exciting is the large red stamp, a certificate stating she is a member or dependent of a member of the forces and is entitled to unrestricted entry into and exit from the Federal Republic of Germany and Berlin.

This stamp clearly shows the "occupational" or "protective" power of the US Army in post-war Germany, which only ended with the downfall of the wall and the reunification of Germany in 1989/90.
