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 points out that he misspelled Parchim in his previous letter, which is why he sends Hella another one. He does not want her to think that he is an idiot. Günther thanks Hella for sending some nice weather his way. He has settled in comfortably in Parchim. Four lieutenants share one barrack room, but the rooms are cozy. 400 Nachrichtenhelferinnenanwärterinnen (female news helper candidates) live in the same block, which is nice for a change, but Günther assures Hella that he only has eyes for her and that she has nothing to worry about. In the evening, he and a few comrades want to go into town and watch ‘Minna.’ Unfortunately, some higher-ranking men will accompany them, which means that they have to behave. Günther suggests that she should visit him on her way home. He could take some time off and save as much money as possible to spoil Hella. With envelope.
