Thats pretty cool!
s.M.G. = heavy MG
2. Gr. = second squad
The round emblem = bicycle platoon
1 = probably first platoon.
doable arrow on top = Engineer
I read it as Heavy MG from second squad, of the first (infantry-) engineer platoon on bicycles.
I'm a bit surprised by the combination of engineer with heavy MG. but i guess its possible as each Volksgrenadier-Division had an Infantry Battalion fully on bicycles.
This was done to have a quick mobile force on hand. For example 1st Bataillon of Grenadier-Regiment 36 (of 6. Volksgrenadier-Division) was on bicycles.Last edited by Admiraal; 10-16-2019, 02:56 PM.I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
