After recognising the writing the one with the motor cycle explains that it is a vist of Commanding General Sepp Dietrich to SS Panzer Regt 12 in autumn 1943 , the photo showing Dietrich in the sidecar , Wunsche the Regimental commander driving and the writer of the script on the rear seat , that man is Wunsche's adjutant SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Georg Iseke !!
So it would appear that both photos have come from Iseke plus a letter to Mark Yerger a well known SS Historian and author and a note to well known Canadian signature collector Patrick Johnson !!

Thank You Paul for your contribution, as i can see you know a lot of Iseke, you had correspondance with him ? to resume the 2 pictures are scripted by Iseke and the rest are scripted by Wunsche to Yerger and Johnson. by chance do you have some pics of Iseke because i only got a couple of him i think...
thanks again for your help and if anyone can translate in english ...i'd love it !!
Yes i had a long period of correspondance with Georg Iseke , a very nice and helpful man who was well respected by friend and foe alike. I learnt much about the internal workings of his units and the personalities he served with especially Wunsche who he served with in both SS Sturmgeschutz Abt 1 and the Hitler Jugend Panzer Regt,
