I don't believe that JG 53 was based on Guernsey but forward refuelled from Rennes. They had gone from western France by late Aug/early Sep 40 but I believe that 5/JG 53 came back for a short time at the end of Sep 40. Much of JG 53 returned to Germnany in Dec 40 but then returned to the Pas de Calais in 1941

Bonsoir,
For Villiaze/Guernsey, Jochen Prien used the word "Absprungplatz" for the I./JG53, II./JG53 and the III./JG53 between july and the 24th august 1940.
