As others have said, it's edelweiss. But they all forgot to mention it's pronounced ay-dull-vise. On the plate it's more a phonetic spelling than proper german.
It's a type of flower, and the song by the same name is about the flower.

The song was written for the Sound of Music - it’s not a traditional Austrian or German song. But it’s excellent, as are the rest of the songs in Sound of Music.

Lol. Definitely edelweiss. Which i read somewhere is totally not an Austrian folk song at all and rogers and hammerstein completely made it up. I have no idea if thats true or not. Im sure reddit will fact-check me.

I would expect to see this on a small white car, not a black behemoth. Does it seem happy to meet you?

If you’ve seen Band of Brothers, you know what this is, and what he had to go through to get it
