In September 1944, theatres in Germany were closed down and Fröbe was drafted into the German Army, where he served until the end of the war. After his Nazi party membership became known after World War II, Israel banned Fröbe's films until Mario Blumenau, a Jewish survivor, revealed just eight weeks later that his life and that of his mother's were probably saved when Fröbe hid them from the Nazis.
