Maxium age for conscripts...

Post by L. Kafka »

...in U.S. military and German military during WWII? Had a discussion with an American WWII vet recently that stated American men up to age 34 or 36 were drafted. I disagreed saying that American men in their 30s were not drafted, that something like 28 was the oldest that were drafted.

What was the case with the German military in regard to the oldest taken by conscription?
"What are they going to do, send me to Vietnam?"
A oft heard GI refrain in Vietnam in '68.
