Question about Greifkommandos


We see these Greifkommandos a few times, such as when Schenke confronts a group who shoot two old men for not fighting, and the group that kills Peter's parents later on.

My question is, what happens to these people? Where do they expect to go once the surrender is issued?

I can't seem them just being able to blend back in with the civilians, considering what they've been doing. Was their intention to commit suicide as the SS guys at the holdout were going to do?

Their intent was to fight to the death defending Berlin and I would imagine most of them did just that. Anyone interested in survival would have fled Berlin long before this point in time.
