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 writes he has not replied to Hella’s letter for so long for two reasons: firstly, her letters are startling and take a while to recover from; secondly, they have been busy with an increase in terrorist attacks and a huge fire which caused many casualties. As he writes the letter a colleague has remarked that the tour abroad has caused him to look ten years older. In reply to her question he did not take, touch or recall seeing her [testimonial] folder in Egypt nor does he think his friend Paddy took it. He suggests she contact Alice in London about it. He tells her that he is pleased that she is both well and happy. He signs off with love and sends regards to her mother.
