War is horrible whether you start it (Hitler started WWII) or are drawn into it. Does anyone know did Germany have conscription - I recall them pressing Poles into service but what about their own people?
Yes. By the end of the war I think even 14-15 year olds were being conscripted - and hanged from a lamppost if they deserted, which included nipping home to show off their new uniforms to their mums.
