The bio I read said he had to join in '39 or whenever (hm '41, later than I thought), and got out some time later (I'm not sure how long) by pleading seminary duties. (Wiki doesn't say anything about the seminary thing, just that he refused to attend meetings. Um, whatever.)
Then he deserted the army (after being drafted) in '44. So two different methods of fleeing-but-not-denouncing-or-working-against.
