Wehrpflichtiger bzw. zum Wehrdienst einziehen

My comment:

I've never seen this word before and nor has the Oxford Dictionary, but the Internet thinks it is a synonym or more likely misspelling of 'conscript'. That is the nearest real word in a military or any other context.

Wehrpflichtiger

My comment:

Wrong spelling. The word is CONSCRIPT, not CONCRIPT. And then it is easy :-) Instead of Wehrpflichtiger, it could also be "der Eingezogene", "der Rekrut". As an adjective: zwangsverpflichtet. As a verb: einberufen.
Good luck!
