Answer:
Conscription Law
Explanation:
On March 16, 1935 Adolf Hitler reintroduced conscription - also known as a draft, unto Germany. This was permitted by article 12a which stated that all men who reach the age of 18 are required to serve. Women were exempt from this law, but were permitted to do volunteer service as well as serve as nurses. After WW1, the German army was reduced to 100,000 voluntary troops. This new law rose that number to 550,000 and the formerly called Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic was now known as the Wehrmacht. By the end of the war more than 17 million soldiers served in the Wehrmacht before the organization was disbanded by allied forces.
