Yes, some convicts did serve in the military during World War II, particularly in countries like Australia and the United States. In Australia, the government allowed certain prisoners to enlist and serve in combat roles, often as part of labor battalions. In the U.S., some states had programs that permitted inmates to join military units, especially in non-combat capacities. These initiatives were seen as a way to reduce prison populations while providing valuable manpower for the war effort.
