I recently saw the movie "The Great Dictator" and this question rose to my mind. Were they regarded somewhat better than the rest of the Jewish population or were they treated the same as everyone else?
Victor Klemperer's I Will Bear Witness gives a definitive answer on this as well as some very detailed accounts of the different phases of the final solution.
Short Answer - he was one. It helped you be further down on the list of people to be rounded up, robbed, and murdered.
Longer Answer - The Nazis gave a Jewish person higher status if he was (1) a WW1 veteran, (2) converted to Christianity before the Nazi's took power, and (3) clearly born in Germany, not an immigrant, and (4) married to an Aryan whom they have not yet 'persuaded' to divorce you. Klemperer had all these advantages and was part of a group of a few hundred special cases who avoided the death camps to survive WW2. The majority even with all these advantages were murdered, but lots of red tape, Teutonic bureaucratic thoroughness, and the Allies' continual demand on their resources helped Klemperer just barely make it. Bonus - he writes well and was a professor of classics + journalist before 1933.
Otto Frank (Anne Franks father) was a WW1 veteran, I watched a documentary recently which said the family was given additional time to pack up there belongings because of this but as we all know the family still got sent to the camps.
