Well i am no specialist in uniforms, but
The First picture is easy
It was made close to Heldenplatz in Vienna,the date is March 38. You see Pre-anschluss Austrian Policemen. The left man is an officer in regular uniform, the white coats were worn by traffic police on duty.With them there is a Man in old fashioned german uniform (is this really a Pickelhaube??!), maybe police (from the "Altreich") too?
In the background their is the Hofburg, where Hitler made his infamous "Heim ins Reich" speech.
I think the second shows a NS- Party dignitary in ceremonial dress. The headdress looks like SA, but i am no specialist for that, their are a lot lot lot of specialist here on this website.
The next two pictures show an highly decorated austrian officer with a lot of WW1 medals.Maybe just a civil Nazi-supporter showing his old uniform. ("Haha , the great times are coming back...") Mind the crippled Nazi-armband and those guys in the background)
The background could be Innsbruck during the Anschluss.
The last two in my opinion show a rally of Reichskolonialbund (Nazi Colonial Association) .Those guy seem to be former member of the WW1 Schutztruppe in Africa who dreamed to get their old colonies back by Hitler.
The building in the background om photo no.5 looks like Munich? Can anyone verify this?

Definitely a (pic number 5) is from the former german colony of....shit- the name escapes me...(digging through the books pile). I actually thought the background was in Stuttgart, that overlooks theKaiser's statute in the main centre square by the u-bahn....
great variations of pics, thanks.
pic #2 looks like a SA general- definitely a SA kepi. What's intreesting to note is the HJ pin in his tunic.
