    A while ago I purchased an autograph with the mentioned decication. Here are some photos with different grades of lightning,contrast etc hopefully making it easier to read the lady´s name.

    I seem to get the lady´s name as Hübe , and he´s thanking for " ihr liebe", but ihr is in small not Ihr which seems a bit awkward, but I might get it all wrong...

    the umlaut seems a bit surprising if it was meant for a French name. Maybe it was a Luftwaffe helferin?

    I agree. The name appears quite German to me as well.

    Hubert is French too . It is a common name and and a first name for a man .St Hubert is the Saint Patroon of the hunters.
