Spot the historical inaccuracies, and name the uniform and equipment overall. This is my OC named Kannis in a WW1 German setting, Somme.

My artwork, "Ich bin noch ein Junge", is still under progress, on the images from slide 2 to 4, are the images of the German trenches during WW1 for reference, and I'm looking forward for any reference for the viewers to find me some historical footages of the German trenches during the Battle of Somme, 1916. The first slide, I am not sure regarding the historical accuracy of the German trench proportions, usually they would be dug 6 feet deep, certain trenches were deep as 12 feet and my OC there Kannis, is 5'8, which I think that it might be one sandbag or two sandbags taller. If you want context, you should check out my other WW1 posts, and read the final slide. So, I currently feel doubtful on which image I should use to depict a German trench in Somme, that's why I'm looking forward for help finding some references.
My standards when it comes to historical accuracy is high, and I usually would try to find the exact models and the proper usage historically accurate as possible.

For viewers, I recommend reading the fourth slide first for context. The third image shows the Troddel (tassel) identification method. This is the update of my OC Kannis post, for previous information, check on my previous post (excluding my coins). Viewers have the choice to answer the last question on the most bottom of image slide four.

How to read slide 3: Company no. 1-4 is part of the 1st battalion. Company no. 5-8 is part of the 2nd battalion. Company no. 9-12 is part of the 3rd battalion.

Important note if you're too lazy to swipe: Meant for educational and artistical purpose, please differenciate between the Germany during WW1 and WW2, WW1 German uniforms did NOT have the breast eagle (Hoheitszeichen) nor the sleeve eagle (Γrmelabzeichen) on their uniform. This the third upload, due to some slight changes. I advise viewers to read the the disclaimer first which is the bold paragraph.
