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 very happy to have got Hella’s letter and sorry that she is sad and fed up. He is enclosing a letter to Dom (now not present) asking if he would be willing to exchange German Marks for English postal orders. He wants her to come over soon and writes she has to get used to him doing things for her. He asks her to come over after her next pay day and writes that it should not matter how much money she has when she is in England. He asks her not to magnify the difficulties she mentions in her letter. He asks if it would be easier if he sent her the English money and she could exchange it. With envelope.
