Biographical history
Hella Anna Maria Scholz was born in Berlin on 29 December 1928 as the younger of the two daughters of Bruno Scholz, a merchant in building materials, and Klara née Kaiser. She was educated in Berlin. In 1942, she met Günther Junge, a pilot with the German Luftwaffe. They remained a couple until Günther’s death in an air battle on 27 January 1944.
After the war, Hella worked as a laboratory assistant for a British military medical unit in Hannover. Here, she met her future husband, an Englishman named William Fuller. They married on 1 January 1951 at the Ploughley & Bullingdon Register Office in Oxford, and in February of that year Hella became a British citizen. She and her husband lived in Oxfordshire and had no children. Hella later moved to Penarth in Glamorgan, Wales, where she died on 31 January 2003.

Scope and content
From Günther in Fürstenwalde. The weather is so bad that they have been grounded. He is glad to have a rest from flying but it is by no means a holiday otherwise he would have gone home. They still have eight hours of classes a day. Some of their flights brought them south to Wiener-Neustadt, Linz and Prague amongst others. Unfortunately they had to fly back on the same day so did not get to see much. He complains that whenever they have to land somewhere because of difficulties with the engine, they never land somewhere where you could happily pass a few hours, but always some godforsaken place. Although he has not written, he always meant to, and he hopes that this thought appeases Hella. The colonel came today and let them know that they will move on 15 March. In preparation for the move people are sending their things home in large parcels. He remarks that it is surprising how many things you can accumulate and that their wardrobes are very unorganised.
