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 Hella in Charlottenburg, Berlin. She got home safely on Thursday and thanks him for ringing her. She hopes to see him before he leaves Fürstenwalde. If the weather remains so awful then he will often be grounded, in which case the final date cannot be 15 March. She asks where he will be moved to afterwards. On Friday for five hours she had to write an essay on the ‘Perceptions of a political thinker’, Hans Grimm. Her school results come out on 21 April but she is not going to let this ruin her Easter holidays even though she does not expect a glowing report. She got a cold swimming and her nasal voice caused the class to laugh at her reading from Antonius’ funeral eulogy for Caesar. She is going to the zoo later that day. In the evening she is going to see the film Meine Frau Teresa with her parents. Her father has just given her a small packet of stamps for Günther’s brother, so she will deliver them sometime soon. The weather today is good so perhaps he could get out flying. She understands that flying interests him more than the theory but says that the theory is important too. With envelope.
