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 Greifswald. Time has been flying since they last saw each other. He is almost back to where he started. The only difference is that he is not a student anymore. They are stationed in Greifswald to protect the capital. Unfortunately, the enemy has not shown itself during the full moon or while the moon was shining in general. It would be effortless to detect the enemy, and flying is more fun than when it is pitch dark. He is content with his life in Greifswald. He has flying duty at night and has to stay awake to await orders, which sometimes never come. He then sleeps in the mornings until lunchtime. Günther reminds Hella to use his regular Feldpost number so her letters do not go missing or get sent back. Since he had not received any letters from Hella for a while, he called her parents. He also asked his mother if she knew where Hella was now. Günther asks her whether she has received the chocolate and the photo by now. He has a stock of cigarettes and tells Hella to let him know if she can use them to buy something she would like. With envelope.
