Notice biographique

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.

Portée et contenu

From Günther Junge in Fürstenwalde. It is only three days since they have seen each other but it feels like an eternity. The suffocating barracks and boring duties are affecting his mood after the freedom of his holiday. They have been given some time to make their dwellings more comfortable but things are still pretty primitive and Günther apologises for the poor writing paper. It was all he could get as he left most of his things behind so as not to have to lug them about. He is going to take a trip to Fürstenwalde. It is worth the hour’s walk there just to be among people. They have just completed their first duty. They cleaned like new recruits. A reminder that they are still small fry, but Günther is glad not to have made it to a higher position. He asks about Hella’s illness and if she is able to get out of bed and go to school. Günther asks for a photo from Hella and threatens not to write again until he gets one. He sends greetings to her family. With envelope.
