What are those bars around the car windows?

I'm not sure, but here's my guess: the rear one if for the SS agent to hold onto while the car travels @ 'parade pace', just to help him keep pace & ease the effort of walking distances- the one around the driver's door is, I suspect, for the agent to hold onto & lift himself up so he can use his body to shield the driver! Anybody w more knowledge want to weigh in here??

There is a running board that agents stand on while holding onto those bars.
