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.

Scope and content
From Bill in Wheatley. Bill thanks Hella for her letter and wishes her a happy Easter. He went to London for four days and left his washing with his mother. He can easily get an advertisement published for Gerhard but it would be expensive. Hella has asked for tights and Bill writes these are scarce in England but suggests that he send a postal order to her for her to see if she can get a pair from the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute (NAAFI) via an army wife. He asks Hella to look into the possibility of this. He asks how she is planning to come over, by plane and luggage by sea? He asks when she will be coming. He is listening to a German radio station and they are playing ‘Die Fledermaus’. With envelope.
