In 28mm? Foundry and BlackTree do some. I turned the BT's into Zombies as they were so horrible.

I can't find the Foundry ones anymore and I have seen those BTDs (cringe, shudder)

Foundry figures are smaller than other WWII figures though...

Artizan make some late war versions. Fiven the great coat will cover most of their lower legs, You could probably use them.

I forgot that I had bought mine to go on an Armoured Train so hopefully it wont matter.

Got some West Wind ones in just last week. But compared to the Copplestone and Pulp figs they're supposed to mix with, they're also pretty small. Not exactly 'dwarvish small', but definitaly 'vertically challenged small'. I'm not too impressed with the sculpting either btw... :?

I suppose some creative basing would take care of the most glaring height difference, but since most of my vehicles are 1/48 or even 1/43, I fear they will look slightly out of place. So I might look out for some Germans with a bit more stature as well... ::)
