Much appreciated!
I also found this: LG 1, Ju 88A5,
Werk-Nr.: 7, 5578, 5556, 8, 5572, 213, 25....

I also saw that they had a detachment of I./NJG 2 there, during '42....I imagine that it'd be Bf 110's, or?

Just started looking in this book...

​

....off the get-go, Ju 88s were in II/LG 1. I haven't found which breed they were yet. One was coded L1+EW, piloted by Lt. George Freysoldt and shot down on May 27, no survivors. L1+CV, piloted by Uffz. Heinrich Geisenhoff shot down and rescued. L1+QV piloted by Oblt. Wolfgang Meissner shot down, no survivors. These were May 26. May 24 had the loss of crew in L1+DN. piloted by Fw. Herbert Schelm. On May 22 Ju 88 from 5/LG1 piloted by Fw. Hans Richter was lost, no codes mentioned. Also on May 22 we now have Ju 88s from I and II/LG1 mentioned. L1+IK piloted by Lt. Wolfgang Schweikhardtfailing to return and Ofw. Heinrich Bocker and crew rescued from L1+LL. These aircraft were based at Eleusis, Greece. No mention of night fighters but that's not to say there were none
