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 Greifswald. There was indeed a long letter from Hella waiting for Günther upon his return to Greifswald. He immediately writes back to her after learning that she feels lonely in Cimmitschau. During the latest attack on Hanover, Günther flew his first mission. Even though he arrived a little too late to shoot at the enemy, he enjoyed flying through the dust clouds of explosions. He hopes to fly his next mission against the Tommies soon. Günther continues his letter on 30 September. He was on flying duty last night, but they could not take off because it was too foggy. He listened to dance music on the radio instead. While there is enough time to learn how to dance, there are no suitable dance partners. Since Günther is a night fighter, he sleeps during the day. He prefers not to go out and even said no to a dance night with female students from the local university organized by a few officers the other week. He did not want to take the risk of dancing with someone he had not seen before. In his opinion, female students often wear specs and are not generally the prettiest girls. Günther hopes to be able to send her another package soon since it is the only thing he can do to console her. With envelope.
