How did the American occupation of Heidelberg affect the planned deportation of Karl Jaspers?

The American occupation of Heidelberg effectively prevented the deportation of Karl Jaspers.

Jaspers, who was considered an enemy of the state by the Nazi regime because his wife was Jewish, had been living under constant threat. In 1945, he received information from a reliable source that his deportation was scheduled for April 14. However, American forces occupied Heidelberg on March 30, 1945, which halted the planned action and spared him and his wife from the impending danger.1
