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 Hamburg. Günther assures Hella that he was very sad too when he learned that she would have visited him since he could have taken some time off after all. Because they were flying at night, they had the afternoon prior and the morning after their flying duty off. He also told his parents, who wanted to visit him for an entire week, not to come. Günther and his comrades had the afternoon off but soon regretted going into town. Parchim was full of refugees from Hamburg who looked at the members of the German Air Force with hateful eyes, asking, ‘What are you doing here? Why are you not in the air seeking revenge for us?’ Günther upset his stomach by drinking a beer that was too cold, and now he cannot enjoy the delicious food they get on Sundays. He wants to know when Hella is going to Thuringia. He hopes sooner rather than later because he believes that Berlin will soon be a very dangerous place. He would feel better if she was somewhere safe. He finishes his letter by wishing her a pleasant journey to her military service post and sending greetings to her parents and Gisela. With envelope.
