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.
