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 Hella in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Hella has deliberately not written in a while so that he can experience how unpleasant it is to have to wait for post. Her time looking after children has now finished. It is unknown where her school will go. Although they do not have lessons, they still have to attend a roll call. Her things are ready for leaving. They even have to take a feather bed with them. They won’t be separated out into civilian quarters but will stay all together in a camp, just like in the KLV. Hella is supposed to be a KLV leader herself, but argues that this is not possible as she wants to sit her leaving certificate and stay together with her school. She went and got her picture taken for Günther. She hopes to be able to stay in Berlin to the end of the month as there is a film coming out that she would like to see. She went to Günther’s house to return a book. The house is looking good again. Only his father was there, but she received a letter from Günther’s mother. With envelope.
