After Munich Agreement Hitler visited area incorporated into Reich - south and west of Danube river - Engerau bridgehead.
These days suburb of Bratislava called Petržalka.

I can't be sure but I think that the first photo is of King George VI shaking hands with the Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.

The first photo actually shows the King's brother, The Duke of Kent shaking hands with NSKK Korpsfuhrer Adolf Huhnlein.
The second photo of course shows Josef Goebbels with SA Obergruppenfuhrer Von Jagow and Deputy Gauleiter Gorlizer behind him.
