Yes, but being an officer of the SS and being an officer of an front line infantry battalion of the Wehrmacht ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same sport. Harrer mission, from what I gather from the media, was funded because Himmler wished to find evidences for his racist theories. They were looking for the place where the Aryans came from, or something like that.
