My best guess is that it's supposed to be "Der Adler ist gelandet", which would mean "the eagle has landed".

The script is fancy. Is that Fst a Ist? The eagle has landed sounds like something a American would say.

There are scripts in which an "I" looks almost like an "F". But writing "Alder" instead of "Adler" and starting "ist" and "gelandet" with capitals sounds like it may have been written by someone whose native language is not German. Where did you get the quote from?

The Ald is a transposition. I found it in a picture of a Erich Hartmann imposed on a sky with clouds with a ME 109 with snow camoflauge. It is written like a title. P.S. The statement about the eagle having landed is somewhat famous here in America. One of the astronauts said it after he landed on the moon.

In German, titles aren't written with capital letters (unless the words start with capital letters anyway).
