I believe that the writing on the reverse of this photo could reveal the clue what that forward airstrip may have been.

In fact, you are looking for when did II./JG77 start to use its first emblem, aren't you ?
Then, if not Neumünster, and providing the name is this unknown forward airstrip this should be dated before end of August ... But looking at Warts' clothes ...
Good luck !
