Saluting in second photo: Gauleiter Martin Mutschmann. In Pic 3, left to right: Franz Ritter von Epp, A.H., Rudolf Hess, Hans Schemm, and Franz Xaver Schwarz.
In Pic 5, at table to HG's left, Hans Hinkel (maybe), Dr. Robert Ley, and Julius Streicher.

Hi,
Great group of early photographs!
I too would have liked to have seen the album from which the SS group photo was taken.
A significant group of early NSDAP pics, wonder who was the original owner?
Unlikely we will ever find out.
Thanks for showing!
Very best wishes,
John.

Thanks for the positive comments on the pics.
I like the one where the storm trooper must of whipped out it camera real quick and took a picture while Hitler and Epp looked right at him. Epp looks like he does nlt approve.Comment

Great images! Thanks for sharing! They remind me of what I acquired. I was fortunate enough to receive the slide archive of a deceased Kriegsberichter along with the camera he used during the war (a KW Praktiflex). The family also gave me boxes of old glass plate negatives. At first I did not give them much thought since I believed they probably only depicted early family scenes. When I finally got around to looking at a few, I was floored by what I saw. I discovered the boxes were an archive in themselves of the early rise of the NSDAP in all its facets! Each negative showed such scenes as the early leaders, rallies, parades, marches, truckloads of SA men with banners, HJ training camps and a lot more. I highlighted a few representative scans below. Apparently this Kriegsberichter was an early member of the NSDAP and had complete access to Hitler and everything he was trying to accomplish. It was the family's wish that I not reveal the identity of this incredible photographer. Incidentally many of his color images photographed in Russia will be published in the near future.

In the first (top) photo in Note #9, it looks like Hitler is chatting with Reichsorganisationsleiter Gregor Strasser standing in the foreground, while Himmler and Hess can be seen over Hitler's shoulders...as usual! And that looks like Gauleiter Martin Mutschmann to the far left of the photo, and possibly Gauleiter Friedrich Hildebrandt behind Himmler's right shoulder. Great photo from the Kämpfzeit!

Martin Bormann stands behind Strasser. The man with the moustache is Georg von Detten. Second from left after Mutschmann is, I think, Hans von Tschammer und Osten, followed by Manfred Freiherr von Killinger.

You have a great eye, Mike! I see what you mean regarding Hans von Tschammer und Osten, and I agree with the other IDs you've provided; I had forgotten that Hildebrandt was SS, not SA. And your tagging Martin Bormann also missed my gaze; I have to say that he's in shadow so I couldn't see the details of his face!
What is also exciting about this photo is the presence of BOTH the Reich-level and the Gau-level PL brassards from the late Kämpfzeit -- Strasser is wearing the three-banded armband for Reich-level and Mutschmann the two-banded for Gau-level. A classic photo!

Here are some more scans of glass plate negatives showing scenes from the same event depicted in the first image of the series I posted above.
Hitler, Mutschmann and Hess are seen first to enter the rally.
Next to follow are Strasser and Goebbels
