Like I said, my gut feeling is that the group with the LSP man are some kind of foreign air raid protection auxiliaries.
The text on your bottom image means:
"Ethnic Germans, who had been forced into military service by the Poles, march towards a better future under the Swastika flag.
Center: Reunion with wife and children. A chance photograph of a Polish prisoner, who unexpectedly encountered his family during his transport away."
So, the men marching under the Swastika flag in those two photographs are Ethnic Germans of Polish nationality who had served as conscripts in the Polish army and were taken prisoner by the Wehrmacht during the Polish campaign. (Such men were quickly proceeded in the German POW camps and released again as soon as possible.) They are still wearing the Polish uniforms they wore when taken prisoner.
The armed men in the photo above are something different. Maybe armed local auxiliaries in German service or maybe even some kind of resistance group; I cannot tell.
