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. Hella has received Günther’s letter. She had just come back from a shopping trip with his mother. They were trying to decide which photo of Günther they preferred. Hella has to go to Meyer herself tomorrow as she needs a passport photo for an ID card. Yesterday Hella was told where she would be redeployed. She had to use some persuasion to be assigned to the same Kindergarten in the Olympic stadium that she worked in last summer. A friend of hers is coming too. As the leader was an old school friend of Hella’s older sister Gisela, she also managed to be granted summer holidays immediately rather than having to wait like the others until September. So Hella’s planned three-week trip is safe. They leave on Thursday. She starts work on 1 August. She will have to start at a children’s home in Krawinkel in Thüringen to provide cover for a few weeks. She spent today visiting various ice cream parlours. With envelope.
