In 1940 men in the United States including Bremer County, Iowa were required to register for the military draft of World War II. After the draft registration numbers were assigned, a national drawing of draft lottery numbers was held on Tuesday, October 29, 1940. When their number was drawn the registered men received an 8 page questionairre. The questionairre was used to rank the men in classes to determine their eligibility for military service. Occupation and citizenship were part of the basis use to divide the men in the list below into four classes.

Although, many of the men on this list did serve in the military, others did not serve because they were deferred for one of the reasons listed below.
