Meaning of name "Herlha" on a KG27 He111 possibly down in the Netherlands?

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

Today on eBay a photo of an He111 was auctioned with the name or partial name "Herlha" painted below the cockpit, and an elaborate drawing of a crusader-type knight on the fuselage before the cross. It is captioned by the source as being FL in Holland. I know that this "knight" insignia has been illustrated in the Walter Waiss book on KG27 (Boelcke-Archiv), Vol III, P.267. Does anyone have any other photos of this FL, or know the meaning of the word "Herlha" in German? Is this a person's name, a place, or some cultural expression? Any further info on this aircraft would be greatly appreciated, especially any further info on the FL incident. The condition of the trees in the background suggest fall or winter, not the Western Campaign, and the markings are more appropriate to late-1939-early 1940. My notes suggest 3./KG27, which may be supported by a yellow a/c letter in the fuselage code on this eBay image.

The auction info for this FL is:
