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, addressed to Munich. Hella is enjoying her free time though her mother is sick. Günther does not like it in Ingoldstadt and Hella hopes that in a few days his duty there will be over and he will get something better. She asks if he knows where he will be stationed next but guesses it will be somewhere far from Berlin. Hella asks if his stomach is better. She is sorry that he is not getting good food and hopes he will soon get used to not having roast pork. Hella will be eating duck and red cabbage for her dinner today. Hella plans to darn tights in the afternoon. She has as yet been unable to fulfil his wish that she think about him at night time as she came home late last night, but she now has plenty of time to daydream. With envelope.
