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. The weather has been really nice. Yesterday, it was 35° C in the shade, which is fine when wearing airy clothes, but not when wearing a uniform. Luckily, he spent half of the day 1000 metres above the earth on a cross-country flight. However, the visibility was poor, so he could not see the Olympia Stadium. Günther also flew over Herzberg, Dresden, Chemnitz, Erfurt and Kyffhäuser before heading back. Things have calmed down slightly, but he and his comrades still have plenty of flying duty. Since Hella asked him to tell her what he really thinks about her photo, Günther admits that he only looked at it once. In his opinion, it is not only badly retouched but also does not look like her. He does not like her dress either. He hopes she is not mad at him and says that taking pictures is not easy. Günther tells Hella to enjoy her work and make sure the Tommies do not destroy her house.
