It would appear that it is from this chap to a loved one so I can see no name, just a date

Thanks! i could not make head or tail out of it. I liked the way the pilot was dressed, like a Indiana Jones way

The name was "Rainer" - an first name.

As surname I read "von Grein". No idea if this correct.

I read:
"Meinem lieben
kleines von Ihrem
Arno. im Felde 1941"

An quite bad German ---- "Meinem lieben Kleinen ..." (Dativ) would be correct but the last letter isn't an "n". Maybe now, in 2015, you find a lot of Germans with problems in their own language (today I've found such an "funny" mistake in our newspaper written by an journalist), but in 1941 ... ?

What's about "Reiner" ?

The word "kleines" in this case could be used by the writer such as a nickname
for his girlfriend or wife.

For Rasmussen: It's realy a very personal handwriting, not easy to read.
(that's why I do not know if I am absolutely right;
and I know that the sentence is grammatical incorrect)
And why not "Kleinod" instead of "kleines" .
But what's about "Rainer" ?
