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 Hella in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Hella is disappointed not to have received a letter from Günther yet but thinks he may need time to settle in Schleissheim. She hopes he has been able to meet up with old friends and has not had unpleasant news of them. She still enjoys remembering their holiday and has enclosed some photos from the holiday for Günther. Things have returned to normal for Hella including skipping school. She only has three days left of school and then on 17 July redeployment starts. She hopes this will not get in the way of their planned trip to Binz. Her mother thanks him for the holiday cards. They cheered her up, especially coming at the end of the month when things are usually tight. Hella has hurt her ankle and wonders if this will affect her redeployment so that she would be reassigned to ‘conditionally fit’ so that she won’t have to leave Berlin. Some of her classmates have gone on holiday without knowing when or where their redeployment will be. Hella surmises that this carefree attitude is because it is their last summer holiday. Hella has to go to the doctor every second day. She plans to read ‘love stories’ that evening to cheer herself up after not hearing from Günther. She restarts the letter on 30 June. She has had news of Günther from his mother. Hella writes how upsetting it has been for her not to hear news from Günther especially when she has made such an effort to change herself. With envelope.
