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 Günther in Parchim. He was in Berlin again today, but it was very early in the morning and only for a short time, so it did not make sense for him to leave the train station. Even if he had had more time, he would have thought twice about going to Tempelhof again because the five days of holiday he spent there the other week were boring enough for his taste. He missed Hella a lot while he was there on holiday. Günther enjoyed being stationed in the Netherlands. Since he knows so many different card games, it was easy for him to fit in, and he even got to know one of the commanders better, whose last name happens to be Jung, just like Günther’s last name, just without the -e at the end. Günther wonders what the four weeks in Mecklenburg will be like. He hopes he will be sent back to the Netherlands afterward because a lot of work awaits them there. He wishes Hella a fun holiday with her friends. With envelope.
