<p>Is there any official/de facto interpretation for this topic?</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>After setup, each time the Germans research a tech that upgrades or unlocks a unit, they build one of that unit for free and gain one resource of their choice from the market."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It seems that this description is ambiguous and I think it can be interpreted as below:</p>

<ol>
<li>They get three units and three resources.</li>
<li>They get three units and one resource.</li>
<li>They get one unit and one resource.</li>
</ol>

It seems that this description is ambiguous and I think it can be interpreted as below:

1. They get three units and three resources.
2. They get three units and one resource.
3. They get one unit and one resource.

There is not (at least yet) an *official*, explicit statement for this. For the time before a new FAQ version is released, I would suggest to stick into the *[Official and Unofficial rules and clarifications](http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/98422/civilization-summary-official-and-unofficial-rules)* made by [Itchi (BGG)](http://boardgamegeek.com/user/Itchi).

Remember, that this is true also even if you have level 3 or level 4 units unlocked. From the official [FAQ v.2.0](https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/civilization/news/Civilization%20FAQ_v2.0.pdf):
