Germany has had a draft since 1956, their Armed Forces are called the Bundeswehr.
Interestingly it is the left-leaning parties who favor the continuation of the draft. They are afraid of what a professional Army will do, as in 1939.
The draft is winding down, they take fewer and fewer men and the length of service is down from 18 months to 10 months, I beleive. Hardly worth the effort and expense.
