Seeking ID of German AF, possibly Breslau, where this StG77 funeral was being held circa Aug-Oct, 1939

Hello,

I'm trying to ID place, date and circumstances of this photo, which shows probably a funeral ceremony for someone from StG77, probably sometime in the August-October, 1939 period. The Ju87Bs in the background are either from the Geschwaderstab or II./StG77. This might be right after the Polish Campaign, but probably isn't later than the end of Oct., 1939. This looks like a well-developed German airbase. The building on the right is the edge of a large hangar. Who can ID this place, and hopefully the date and circumstances of the photo? The a/c in the far background has the insignia for either the Geschwaderstab (blue top) or II./StG77 (red top), but it appears to be unfinished.
