The 'prisoners' part refers to how citizens are captive to their government, and if their government does something they truly do not agree with, they have no recourse and must go along with the law of the land.
With multiple citizenship you at least can emigrate somewhere and, while not as integrated as native citizens, at least will never be ejected as unwanted immigrants.

There is no guarantee that Germany will not (again) become a dictatorship where people are interned in camps if the ruling class finds it politically useful. There is no guarantee that Germany will even allow you to leave the country in 50 years, even if you have dual citizenship. This is all seems improbable, of course, even ridiculous. But I don't think anyone in Germany could've seriously imagined the situation of 1939-45 30 years earlier.
