Those refugees from Nazi Germany who volunteered for service in the British armed forces were not used for frontline combat.

Technically, that answer is correct, however there were at least two cases of German Jews who became RAF pilots and did see front line combat.

Klaus (now Sir Kenneth) Adam was a Typhoon pilot. See his story on Wikipedia.

Georg Hein was a Jewish refugee living in London in 1939, and he committed identity theft in order to join the RAF under the name Peter Stevens. He went on to fly 22 combat operations as a Hampden bomber pilot before being shot down and taken prisoner by his own countrymen. As a POW for 3 years and 8 months (without any protection whatsoever under the Geneva Convention - he was, after all, still a German citizen and was fighting for Britain) he became one of the most ardent escapees of the war, and was awarded the Military Cross in 1946. He is mentioned in at least 10 books, including his biography 'Escape, Evasion and Revenge: The True Story of a German Jewish RAF Pilot Who Bombed Berlin and Became a POW. His story is also on Wikipedia.
