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. She is home alone as the rest of her family have gone out for the evening. In the afternoon she and a female friend went for a walk along the Ku’damm [Kurfürstendamm] and into the Café Marquant for a hot drink. It was too crowded to be enjoyable. She is listening to a radio programme with Eugen Klöpfer, Maria Koppenhöfer and Margarete Klose which she is finding funny as it is so bad. She has recently become lazy at school because she is thinking about Günther so much. She finds it strange that they have only known each other for three months and yet understand each other so well. She would like to know what it would be like to quarrel with him. She asks if he is on pilot duty today and comments that the weather was good for these but asks him to be careful and remember Torgau. They are doing a lot of sport at school and the swimming instructor is demanding more from Hella than the others. With envelope.
