Full kit challenge

I know various bits have been posted here and there but what exactly would be required for the full kit challenge for an Heer Infantryman? I have been buying bits and bobs and was kindly given an A frame by Pimms today. So I find myself with Y straps and belt. A frame. Mess tins and zeltbahn. Mag pouches, breadbag and water bottle and finally a repro bayonet and frog. Funnily enough I've found the addition of the A frame, makes the whole rig sit better and therefore more comfortable. As far as I can tell an entrenching tool is my only missing item. I have a post war GDR folding shovel, and I know leather folding shovel covers are available but do they work with the bayonet frog like the straight shovels do or am I better off getting a straight shovel. Final question, is there anything else I'm missing? Many thanks for any help you can give. Jimbo
