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 Günther in Parchim. It is hard for Günther to concentrate on his letter because one of his comrades plays the harmonica very loudly and poorly. When he received her two letters yesterday and today, he did not notice that a photo of her was included, and it fell onto the floor. He was very surprised when a girl handed it to him in the mess hall. He almost does not recognise Hella in the photo and asks her if she does not think that she overdid it [sunbathing] because one could question whether she is really an Aryan. He also complains that she is depicted as too small in the photo and that her legs are cut off. He prefers reality over a photo. While a week ago a visit from Hella would have been nice, and he easily could have taken some time off, things have changed in the meantime. Several generals came and had numerous meetings, and now everything is much stricter. They have to get up at 5 a.m. and go to the airfield without breakfast because the Mess only opens at 7 a.m. Günther cannot go to Berlin to visit Hella either because they could be deployed anytime. He feels bad because he cannot make her wish come true. He wishes Hella a safe trip home and apologises for the difficult readability of his letter as his pen ran out of ink. With envelope.
