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 at Command Military Laboratory (CML), Nicosia. Bill thanks Hella for her letter which she posted from Southampton and hopes that her voyage was a pleasant one. He had a sad Christmas and thought of her. He asks how things were in England. Life in Cyprus is terrible because the towns are out of bounds. If they go out they have to take guns with them. He has spent some time with Tom South and his wife at their house but fears to outstay his welcome. It is their wedding anniversary and Bill asks if she got the flowers he sent and asks her to give the relationship another chance. He got a letter from Gisela which he does not feel like answering at the moment. It had a few lines from Karl which he cannot read. He sends his love to Hella’s mother. Apologises that the letter is written on a torn sheet. He asks if she has had any money yet.
