Swedish Compulsory National Service Act

The Swedish Compulsory National Service Act was a controversial law proposed in the Riksdag in 1940 by Minister for Education Gösta Bagge to improve national defence; it was finally passed by the Riksdag in 1941, in a much-revised version. Another key player in the political struggle surrounding the compulsory national service was the Swedish Finance Minister Ernst Wigforss.
