How about people with language skills? Good interpreters could end up excused heavy manual work and being fed and protected by local military units.
For example, Poles who speaks fluent English might be in demand as translators / interpreters for a British or American unit in cantonment in Poland so the troops could communicate with the local doctor / blacksmith etc. Likewise Soviet units would be on the lookout for Russian speakers for the same reasons.
