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 is attaching a pictorial joke which she saw in a newspaper yesterday and wanted to share it with Günther. Hella is now having to get used to the idea of going back to school. They are given a lot of lectures about redeployment but as yet no firm plans have been revealed. If the weather stays nice Hella does not plan to be in school often. Hella’s mother has just given her a large portion of ice cream. On 1 May she went for a walk with her parents and some friends in the Grunewald. On Sunday morning she went to a special exhibition on Michelangelo in the Mamorhaus. In the evening she went to the cinema with her parents to see Münchausen which she really liked and recommends that Günther should go and see it if he gets the chance. School started on Monday so there is not much news and Hella finishes her letter. With envelope.
