How do government powers change during war? (WW11)

Conscription in the Second World War Introduced in April 1939, to avoid the mistakes of the first World War First time conscription had been introduced in peacetime Men were supposed to serve for six months – many served for the whole war Between May 1939 and autumn of 1941 all men conscripted unlike First World War Few complaints about conscription By the end of ,000 had deferred their call up because of the importance of the job. Over 1 million volunteered or asked for their call-up to be speeded up in the same period. December 1941 conscription of women was introduced - first applied to unmarried women between the ages of By 1942 min age was lowered to 19 and 1943 the max age raised to 43.

Source A – From the memories of James Palmer written in Called up in May 1939 It was with mixed feelings that I sat down on the platform bench waiting for the train. Dad and my girlfriend Muriel had come along with me and both looked terribly upset. I felt both excitement and anxiety. I knew that I would not like being in the army, yet I felt pleased at being one of the first to go. I was looking forward to the experience. It was only for six months, so the papers said, and I would come home before Christmas. Lesson 8

Source B - Men volunteering to serve on the Royal Navy, 1939 Lesson 8

Task How far do sources A and B suggest that recruitment was popular in 1939? What differences and similarities were there between recruitment and conscription in the First and Second World Wars?

Emergency Powers Act 1940 The EPA was introduced by the government in May 1940, After he British Army had been forced to retreat from Dunkirk and there was a real threat of invasion. This was a time of real desperation, with France on the verge of defeat and with the likelihood of a German invasion. The Act gave the desperate British government almost unlimited powers over people and property. From then on, civilians could be required to do anything and be sent anywhere.
