Very interesting pictures.
If you look at the flag that Hitler is grasping, you'll notice the swastika is a bit more thin than the ones on the other flags in the picture. Along with that the white field is a bit discolored. What he's got in his hand was the Nazi equivalent of the Holy Grail/Shroud of Turin. It was named the Blutfahne and was arguably the Nazis' most sacred relic. This was the Nazi Party flag that was supposedly carried during the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. According to Nazi legend it was soaked in the the blood of the Nazis who were killed in the unsuccessful revolt.
What's happening in this picture is that as each of the new SS standards are brought to him, Hitler touches the old Blutfahne to the new flag as a sort of consecration ceremony.
