I got permission from the creator of this post to create my own WWII army for 40K. Check that post out!
This is my own version of how a WWII-themed game with 40K rules would look like. All the weapons and stats are at the end of the post. Read all of it, it'll be worth it.
Note: All radios have the same rules as a Vox, but have an effective range of 24 inches.
A normal infantryman costs 6 points, and has the statline WS3 BS4 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 Ld7 Sv4+
I know, maybe a bit unbalanced, but it's a first draft. Leave a reply if I should change or add anything.
A SSgt and Sgt cost 8 points.

Shooting Attacks
Spoiler:
Accurate Fire - Is fired with the users original BS. The weapons type specifies how many shots that can be fired (Rifles may fire 2 accurate shots, SMG's 3, etcetera)
Covering Fire - Fired as BS1. Roll a D3. On a 1, 5 shots may be fire. On a 2, 7 shots. On a 3, 10 shots. If 1 or more shots hit, the unit being fired at may either go to ground, or Stand Their Ground. If the unit chooses to Stand Their Ground, a leadership test must be done. If it fails, the unit takes their Armour Saves and removes casualties, and then falls back 2D6. If it succeeds, the unit stays where it is and takes its armour saves.
Suppressing Fire - Fired at BS2. May only be fired before assaulting. How many shots that may be fired are resolved the same way as when firing Covering Fire, but the enemy unit must either stand still and take the shots, or go to ground.
MG Fire - Fired at BS2. Roll a D3. on a 1, 5 shots may be fired. On a 2, 10 shots. On a 3, 15 shots. The enemy unit may either go to ground or Stand Their Ground.
Only Suppressing fire may be fired before assaulting, and is performed in the assault phase, before Overwatch. No shooting attacks other than suppressing fire may be performed by an assaulting unit.

Special Rules
Spoiler:
Paratrooper Plane: The plane can only carry Paratroopers. When they disembark, place the Squad Leader on the ground, where you want him to deploy. Scatter 2D6. Use the Deep Strike rules.
If the plane does not carry any weapons, it leaves the battlefield.
My only nitpick is that the Lee, Chaffee and the Sherman never had a 73mm cannon.
The Lee and the Chaffee had 75mm cannons and depending on the model of Sherman it can have either a 75mm, 76mm, or a 105mm howitzer. Unless it was a typo.
Though just a 1 gramar nitpick for the paratroopers your have "may take a BAR gun" which should be "may take a BAR" like you have for the troop section.
If there's one glaring inconsistency its the SMG vs Rifle. An SMG has a fraction of the effective range of a rifile 40m vs 300m. It should be a better weapon at close range, but utterly inferior at long range.
