Why were the middle-aged Alex Steiner and Hans Hubermann drafted? As a punishment because Alex Steiner had refused to let Rudy go to officer's training camp at the elite Nazi school, and Hubermann had helped a Jew by giving him bread at the parade.
Also, why is Hans Hubermann sent home from the war? He changed his seat from the back of the military vehicle to a middle seat in response to Reinhold Zucker's bullying. Why was Hans Hubermann allowed to return home? He was allowed to go home for a few weeks for his leg (that was injured in the military vehicle accident) to heal.

Alex is sent to an army hospital in Vienna, where he is tasked with mending clothes. Hans is sent to Essen, where he is given an undesirable job with the Air Raid Special Unit: his unit must stay above ground during air raids to put out fires, prop up buildings, and save people.
