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 CML, Nicosia. Bill was very shocked by Hella’s last letter. He is glad she has got a job which suits her and is comfortable. He refuses to comment on the rest of her letter. He is well in spite of the dangerous conditions. A colleague had a bomb thrown in the flat below his yesterday but no-one was hurt. He thinks Hella will be surprised to learn he has opened a savings account. He will increase his deposits when he gets the pay rise. He has sorted out problems with overpayment for rent in Aldershot but is still working on the ‘wireless affair’. He misses her and loves her. He sends regards to her mother and the Dietrichs but will not write himself as he would not know what to say.
