Anyone know of any really good 28mm heroic minis that may be out there?

While not completely realistic WWII, some of Darkson Designs might work?:

...and Foundry and Bolt Action does some realistic ones:

If you can find any Easy Eights Enterprises minis, they were GREAT. They made the fantastic (!!!!!!) game, Battleground WWII. Sadly, they went under.

West Wind production's SECRETS OF THE THIRD REICH range should be right up your alley:

I have Artizan's WWII US Airborne, and they're excellent, like all their figures.

Along those same lines, does anyone know of any WWII small scale skirmish rules? IE a squad or 20 models or less? Something along the lines of necromunda or mordheim?

The group i game with use a slightly adjusted version of these free rules http://mainly28s.com/rules/+1939R.Landser.html however if you want to spend money NUTS is a good bet

SotTR is quite good, and you can play it without the zombies and paranormality

Nuts! is supposed to be pretty good. Chain Reaction 2 works for many eras (Nuts! emerged from it) and is free. I think there are some conversions for various editions of 40k out there as well.
