This seems to be more about knowing where people are rather than preventing them from leaving. The law in Germany dictates that nobody can be conscripted against their will. It’s a volunteer based system still.
I’m not sure how I feel about this but I am of the opinion that if a war breaks out and a service aged man escapes the country to avoid it, I don’t want them let back in once the war is over. And I’m strictrly talking about defending your own country - not attacking others. The russian who escaped the country to avoid being sent to Ukraine did the right thing. Same for any US soldiers refusing to fight in Iran.
So you are saying that because a megalomaniac billionaire convinced or coerced some of his people to attack my country, I should throw away mine and my family’s life? People don’t hate people. “Leaders” convince you to hate people.

“So you are saying…” is such a meme. I can’t believe people still say that unironically.
