Inedit private photos of Himmler visiting the front?

[Gernika81]

Hi everybody. I have some doubts regarding these photos of Himmler. It seems that Himmler is surrounded by some SS high ranked officers. These private photos could have been taken by a soldier or officer during a visit of Himmler to the front in the east? Any high ranked officer can be recognized there? We can definitely omit the possibility that Himmler was visiting Einsatzgruppen right? I know that Reichsführer visited once one Aktion from the Einsatzgruppen and he felt really upset and sick as long as I know. I imagine that visit more private and in situ, not hundred meters away from the Aktion. What do you think?

This is definitely not a visit to the front. It is a military exercise, as can be seen by the cap worn by the man on the extreme left in the first photo.

Looks like a military exercise by the Totenkopf Division in the winter 1940/41. In the pictures you can identify Eicke, Wolff, and (I think) Simon and Lammerding.

I agree with Eicke and Wolff...I cant recognize those other 2 officers...but it seems that next to Eicke (3rd from the left - 3rd photo) is Friedrich Jeckeln. What do you think?

Could well be Jeckeln. However I was guessing it could be Hermann Priess.
