Photo of ROA-officer recruiting a blindfolded soviet pow

[rus]

I wonder if someone can help me with this picture. I just want to be sure what´s happening here. It´s a very interesting photo. It is probably from Northern Norway or Northern Finland because of the Gebirgsjäger´s and because of the other photos in the files are from same area. Here is two german soldiers and a ROA-officer and probably a soviet pow. I think that it is a escaped soviet pow recaptured and is given the opportunity/is being forced to be a ROA-soldier. But what is he receiving, that little box? And why is he blindfolded? That german soldier is smiling. A somewhat strange picture.
There is also a picture nr. 1-3. P. 1 showing five german soldiers and here´s pictures 4-5. The pictures comes from a book in Norway: De brente våre hjem, by Tore Hauge. The pictures comes from Bundesarchive, nrs 39-5516 to 20.

Thank you.

Two more Pictures from the same event. I got them from a german paratrooper who had some collegues serving in nothern Finland.

The two other photos posted by 1823 show a crowd of civilians behind a rope line. It's blurry but some of the civilians have either name tags or Stars of David on their clothing. Who were these people?

I do not see any rope in the photo - is it possible to get a better scan? The ceremony in question may be the Finnish national memorial ceremony on 16 May (1942, 1943 or 1944) to the memory of Finnish KIA soldiers, in Finnish Lapland, with Finnish and German officers attending. The women are apparently wearing the Finnish Liberty Cross awarded to widows or mothers of soldiers killed in action.

I don´t see the rope either on this scans but serious looking German soldiers and honor guards in white gloves at the right side.

I'm having a problem with locating original Bundesarchiv photos. Provided numbers in the first post do not seem to exist.

Are we even sure all those photos were taken in the same time and in the same place?
Surroundings do no match.
On photos with ROA soldier we have grass hills, terrain on photos with German-Finnish event is flat with forest.

And why a ROA soldier would have been present during a German-Finnish event?
BTW Gebirgsjäger were not only in Norway or Finland...

No hit at the Bundesarchiv photoarchive for Norwegen (946 images), Finnland (300 images) nor ROA (5 images). Also the assumed signatures didn´t fit, neiter as new nor as old signature of the photos.
