The German birth record clearly shows that she was born in Lepolata.
Could this possibly be the town?
Liepalotai in Lithuania

Hello @miekehawner1,
It's likely you have found the correct place: Liepalotai in Lithuania.
Valaitis is a Lithuanian surname: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valaitis
I have found examples of "Valaitis" and "Walaitis" in Lithuania on Ancestry.
