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 still looking for a letter from Hella. He finds it strange to be working in a lab when she is not working there too. He is waiting for the opportunity to go to London to sort out the forms and to pay the twelve and a half pounds for her to come to England. He thinks there may be a chance she could get work in the lab. The nearest town is Oxford but he does not know it well, having only been there twice so far. He sends her his love and asks her to write soon. With envelope.
