I'm not an expert but like Yeoman said should work well, I've seen some info about what WW2 paras carried and they sure had alot of gear (in ww2 terms). You may want to get deactivated/repo grenades, jump knife, rope etc... to festoon yourself. Its the details that make an impression real, that goes for any impression even one without a historical context. Even if you don't put period items in your pack use it for whatever you need for the game.
