The second generation I./JG 1 was not existing in October 1940.
The first Staffeln of I./JG 1 sec. gen. were formed in December 1940.

It was 10.(N)/JG 1, then equipped with the Bf 109 E aircraft, which was stationed in Katwijk in October 1940. There the Staffel was known as the "verstärkte Jagdstaffel Holland" and as such it was transferred into the Luftwaffe day fighter force. On 12 December 1940 the Staffel was renamed 1./JG 1. So, it might have been that Staffel. The photo shows a reasonably well camouflaged Gefechtsstand, to my eyes it just does not look like a temporary arrangement from May/June 1940.
