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. He and his comrades have started playing cards again during night duty, but he still loses regularly. They have not flown any missions in a week, and Günther fears they will be old by the time the war is over. He tells her he flies a Bf110G, which he likes. He shares Hella’s opinion about people from Saxony and asks her not to become like them, or it will be over with them. He admits that he likes chocolate a lot now and that there will not be as much for her anymore. The 4711 Eau de Cologne is a belated birthday gift for Hella, which he bought in the Netherlands and was very expensive. With envelope.
