Salut!
Most likely Kingissepp. It is in Russia some 20 km East of Narva (by the railway). The town name is Estonian, though. The location was earlier known as Jamburg.
Kingissepp was a hard line communist excecuted in Estonia in 1922 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Kingissepp ).

This may stand for
1 kilometer von der Strasse Kingissepp-Narwa, 10 km östlich Kingissepp ? Pardon the possible syntax errors.
Why are you so sure Luga Bay was not battle area? Tallinn and Northern Estonia was sacked by Germans in August 1941. I am not sure which shoreline area Germans hold then (Aug 6th, 1941), but Luga Bay may very well have been "between the lines".
Hope this helps some,
