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 Crimmitschau. She apologises for not having written and notes that since his visit to Frankfurt, Günther seems to have become quite troubled. She is surprised that he has only just noticed that morale has weakened. She hopes he recovers soon and suggests it is because he hasn’t got much to distract him. She comments on the fact that whilst they both want to read, she can’t because of lack of time and he can’t because he hasn’t got anything to read. She asks what he would like her to send him to read. She is pleased that Günther is going to try to come and visit. She is not happy at the moment and to cheer herself up is focussing on the upcoming Mountain Festival, Christmas and a visit to Hans. With envelope.
