There will be a SW: WW2 at some point, but it will be a completely new approach.

You'll be able to play WW2 with the main SW rulebook  VERY easily. The main tanks and planes of WW2 are in there, and it's SUPER easy to convert the monsters.

That said, there may be free (or more likely very cheap on RPGNOW) official conversions of equipment and monsters. I just don't want to "redo" a whole new book with the same text and different rules.
