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 Bill in Wheatley. Bill is worried that he has not yet had a letter from Hella. He promises that the bad days of the past are over and he has not done a thing in England he would not tell her about. He cannot explain the past but supposes it may be due to his ex-wife and the frustration of keeping their relationship secret. If Hella comes over as his fiancée, she has two months in which to decide whether to marry him or not. As soon as he can get to London for the papers he will. He has arranged for lodgings for Hella but is finding it embarrassing that he cannot say when she will come over. He asks her if she has had her wedding dress made yet. With envelope.
