New Enrollment Areas in 1942

Enrollment Areas 1942 - 1969

In 1942 the Swedish military conscription registration system was reorganized. The former Army and Navy Roll Keeping Areas were abolished. The larger Enrollment Areas were kept but reduced to 21 st, numbered 1 to 21. In 1969 also the enrollment areas were abolished and the conscript registration was transferred to a new authority Värnpliktsverket with regional conscript registration offices (värnpliktskontor).

The Enrollment Numbers from 1942

Between 1902 and 1953 military enrollment numbers (draftee service codes) were noted in the form SSS-EE-YY where SSS is the conscript’s personal serial number in the roll, EE is the enrollment area (inskrivningsområde) in the enrollment area and YY the year of enrollment of the conscript. For example, 1624-8-43, where 43 is the year of registration and 8 is the enrollment area code (8 = Uppland enrollment area). “1624” is the conscript’s personal serial number in the roll. In 1953 the draftee enrollment numbers were replaced by the national personnummer - Personal Identity Numbers (PIN), which was introduced in Sweden in 1947.

Enrollment Areas 1942 - 1969

The chart below shows the enrollment areas used between 1942 and 1969: Inskrivningsområde = Enrollment area. 1 - Stockholms inskrivningsområde 2 - Värmlands inskrivningsområde 3 - Örebro inskrivningsområde 4 - Östergötlands inskrivningsområde 5 - Jämtlands inskrivningsområde 6 - Malmöhus norra inskrivningsområde 7 - Malmöhus södra inskrivningsområde 8 - Uppsala inskrivningsområde 9 - Skaraborgs inskrivningsområde 10 - Södermanlands inskrivningsområde 11 - Kronobergs inskrivningsområde 12 - Norra Smålands inskrivningsområde 13 - Kopparbergs inskrivningsområde 14 - Gävleborgs inskrivningsområde 15 - Älvsborgs inskrivningsområde 16 - Hallands inskrivningsområde 17 - Västgöta-Bohus inskrivningsområde 18 - Gotlands inskrivningsområde 19 - Norrbottens inskrivningsområde 20 - Västerbottens inskrivningsområde 21 - Västernorrlands inskrivningsområde

Above, a draft card (stamkort/värnpliktskort) for a draftee assigned to the infantry (infanteriet). The draftee’s name is Karl Evald Lindblad, born in 1923, and was registered (mönstrades) in 1943 (section 2 above). His enrollment number was 1624-8-43. Lindblad was registered with the Uppsala Enrollment Area (Uppsala inskrivningsområde (8)). Under Tjänstgöring (Service data) in the card above is information about his service; when he served on duty; year (år), duty (tjänstgöringens benämning), number of days (antal dagar) and unit (reg motsv.). Lindblad did his military service/training with the Upplands regemente (I8) (Uppland Regiment). In the section, Tjänstgöring in the card above is a column with the heading “Reg (motsv)”. This column holds information about the unit’s designation for each of the units he served in. In his case, I8, which was the unit designation for the Uppland Regiment and this regiment was garrisoned in the city of Uppsala. "I" stands for "Infantry" so “I8” means the 8th infantry regiment. Further, Lindblad served with the 13th Company which is shown in the column with the heading "Komp., skv., batt. osv". Numeral “13” means the 13th Company (13:e kompaniet). More information about the unit’s designation: Military unit designation listing. Lindblad carried out his military training between 1944–1945 with units I80? and I48. He served with these units between 12 April 1944 and 7 April 1945. I80 and I48 was probably unit designations for wartime unites temporally established during WWII. He was assigned to Uppland Regiment I8 from April 1945, where he served from 8 April 1945 to 16 June 1945 when he was discharged. So, his military service/training period lasted between 12 April 1944 and 16 June 1945. Lindblad was called up for two compulsory military refresher courses (repetitionsövning) in 1951 and 1955, of 30 days each. The Uppland Regiment was disestablished in 1957 and Lindblad’s last military refresher course was executed with the Södermanland Regiment (I10) in Strängnäs in 1959. He was transferred to the Södermanland Regiment already in 1956. From 1963 he was attached to Göta livgarde P1 in Enköping (an armored tank unit). Swedes are attached to the military draft system until their 47th birthday. Lindbald was excluded from the military conscript system in 1970, on his 47th birthday.

American Draft Cards

The American draft card is just a registration card while Swedish cards serve a dual purpose in that they also contain service data the American doesn't have.
