Which month in WWII has the biggest draft call up number? Just finished a new book on George Marshall Army COS in WWII. It was June of 1945, 440,00 due to the manpower shortage for the invasion of Japan. This is kind of surprising since Germany had already been defeated. But this helps explain why my dad, who was a production tool and die guy building B-24 Bombers at Willow Run, lost his exemption and got drafted and was sent to Fort Lewis Washington to train for the invasion.
