| | Austria is Free! Dramatis Personae: |
 | | General elections were held on 25 November 1945, and on 20 December Dr. Renner was elected Federal President for a term of six years, thus giving him the rare distinction of being chosen twice for virtually the same office, both after a world war. | | | Following a broadening to include all the provinces, Renner's Government was eventually (20 October 1945) recognized by the Allied occupation powers, and soon afterwards it issued the first call for elections in Austria in eleven years. | | | In the first republican elections in February 1919, Dr. Renner's party emerged as the largest representation in the National Constitutional Assembly and he became the first State Chancellor of the young republic. |

| | Karl Renner Biography / Biography of Karl Renner Biography |
| | The Austrian statesman and president Karl Renner (1870-1950) provided his nation with vigorous and able leadership after both world wars. | | | Forced to leave home at age 14, he eventually studied law at Vienna, where he first became active in the Social Democratic party. | | | With the Socialists out of power, Renner, with the exception of his tenure as president of the National Assembly from April 1931 to March 1933, faded increasingly into the background and, during the fascist era of Engelbert Dollfuss, was branded a traitor and briefly imprisoned in 1934. |
