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. He has not had a letter from Hella but expects this is because she would not have received his last one until she got back from Brunswick. He foresees no problems in finding her a place to live and will send her the necessary forms. He asks her to hurry with her arrangements for moving over as he misses her. The other lab Sergeant has yet to be demobbed and so Bill is on a row of three night duties. ‘This is how important my posting from Germany was!! Doesn’t it make you sick?’ He had a brief chat with a friend, Woggi, that evening and she sends her regards and is looking forward to seeing Hella. With envelope.
