Mikael and Jim: Hmmm.......I would tend to go with 1.(F)/Ob.d.L. at Dünaburg:

Attached to Luftflotte 1 and ordered to Seerappen, near Königsberg in East Prussia, in November 1940 to carry out clandestine photo reconnaissance of Soviet airfields and other objectives in North Russia and Belorussia, and then on 16 July 1941 transferred from Seerappen to Minsk-South for reassignment to Luftflotte 2.

However, Dünaburg was first used by the Luftwaffe on 28 June 1941 having been in Soviet hands prior to that. I suspect the long-range Ob.d.L. reconnaissance flights would have been staged from there, i.e., fly in from East Prussia, top off the fuel tanks, fly the mission, land back at Dünaburg, refuel and then return to East Prussia.
