My husband's mother could have avoided the concentration camp if she had divorced her husband who was Jewish. She chose not to & went into camp with her husband & youngest son. She had 2 older sons by a previous marriage who were fighting for Hitler. The oldest was in the German Vermoth or army & was repeatedly sent to the front lines as were other soldiers who had Jewish relatives.
He was in a fox hole & buried by a tank, but his comrades dug him out. He was able to get to one of the last planes that left when the Russians came in at end of war. He was shot at & wounded escaping & had to climb over a stone wall, falling & knocking many of his teeth out. Although he survived this terrible ordeal he was shell shocked & shook must of the time even decades later. He is now deceased.
The middle brother was in the Hitler youth & had no home, so had to live on the street or anywhere he could find shelter.
He & older brother would go to authorities & appeal to them about their parents & younger brother. This may have delayed for a while their execution, but at end they would have been executed anyway if war had not ended.
The middle brother served in the US Army in Korea & saw combat.
My husband was also drafted into the army in 1958. He had papers from German doctors saying he was 30% disabled from his concentration camp ordeal but they took him anyway & sent him to Korea also.
