Luftwaffe Wacht Soldat Mannequin help

[jiipee76]

I just started to gather items for my first mannequin which is Luftwaffe Wacht Soldat.

Guard soldier is going to be:
-LW Wacht Mantel (Great coat)
-LW Belt (Iron buckle)
-Ammo pouches(two - Brown?)
-Bayonet
-K98 rifle
-Collar tabs for Funker
-Shoulder boards for Nachtrichen Manschaft
-LW Helmet
-Shoes

Did the germans use other insignia on great coat(funker/nachtrichten)?

What type of shoes i need for the soldier? Are "elephant" shoes good for guard soldier/Lappland?

Did germans use belt+ammo pouches only for guard duty or did they have always y-straps(with greatcoat)?

So many questions,building soldier is so fascinating.I only have one book which shows basic rules.It is Handbuch - Deutsche Militaria 1808-1945 by Jörg Nimmergut.

Looks like a good setup to me

I would use standard jackboots. You could also put a nice flashlight on the mantel too.

Definetly gotta get flashlight for the guard soldier too.

What was official german name for the jackboots?
