The National Spiritual Assembly of Germany and Austria was re-established. [BN No 187 September 1946 p8-9]
It was elected for the first time since 1937. Those elected were: Fred Kohler, Dr Adelheid Jäger, De Hermann Grossmann, Martha Brauns-Forel, Erwin Knorr, Paul Golfer, Edith Horn, Martel Weiss, Hede Schubert. [The German Baha'i Community under National Socialism p18]
Three American servicemen, Bruce Davison, John Eichenauer, and Capt Henry Jarvis rendered service to the stricken community. See the article The Baha'i Faith: Banned by the Nazis and the Communists by Caroline Fowler on Bahá'í Teachings.org.
It would appear that there was no Austrian representation at this National Convention nor at the National Convention the following year. [BW11p30]
See The German Baha'i Community under National Socialism p21-26 for the persecution of the Bahá'í community before and during the war.
