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.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill is sad that Hella has not sent another letter. He thinks he must be the most frequent visitor to the post corporal and yet get the least mail. The current pathologist is leaving and will probably be replaced by a man. He claims not to care as ‘[t]hey’re all the same’. He asks if Anderson has left yet. He is going to get his mother to send her nylons and hopes she won’t see this as bribery. He asks her to try to come to England before he has a chance to send the nylons. With envelope.
