I'm looking for some WW zombie soldiers with guns and maybe some '30-'40 years zombie civilians too. Thanks. :)

Reaper make some German Zombies/guns in their Chronoscope line.
-
Have you looked at the Dust Axis zombie squads?
-
It depends on how decomposed you want them. I've made a whole mess of extra german zombies for Incursion and have both the Dust and Chronoscope ones.
The Dust Ubertoten are just regular German Infantry with zombie heads so they are pretty "clean"

The chronoscope ones are nice and grungy and I think there are at least 6 different poses:

A warning though, both the Dust and Reaper ones are pretty tall (32mm +). They fit well with the larger Grindhouse miniatures but may not mix well with West Wind, Warlord, Artizan etc.
I also mixed a few of the Studio Miniatures "Nazi Zombie" plastic figures (unarmed) with some Warlord plastic Germans. They turned out ok, but the Studio miniatures bits are thinner than the chunky Warlord parts. If I had it to do over again I would probably mix the Studio Miniatures with the Wargames Factory Germans.

Thanks :)
However as you wrote, the size is too bigger.
There are some undead civilians with clothes that could be fine for '30-'40 years?

You could try zombies from Victory force. They are not specific to the 1930's or 1940's, but they are pretty generic and could easily blend in a WWII setting.

For civilian zombies for that era, I used a mixture of actual zombies and some period civilians that could be painted as such (or lightly converted). This group holds, among other things figures from Recreational Conflict (nun and priest), the Blue Moon WW2 characters zombie set, west wind ww2 French civilians...

And if you're a bit handy with greenstuff, you can turn the wargames factory plastics into something like these:

Thanks for the nice suggestions :)

Reaper Chronoscope is nice! If a Nazi Zombie with a gun can be considered "nice"...:)

You could try some plastic Germans (Perry/Warlord or Wargames Factory) with conversions as above or with zombie heads from other sources (Games Workshop, Mantic, Wargames Factory) or maybe SotTR?
-
Change heads (or faces) with plastic Mantic ghouls or zombies.
The changing faces give you the advantage to keep the original helmet or cap of your historical figs. ;)
Or cut off the nose of your historical figurines and drill 2 holes for the nostril. Drill too the eyes to give them a more living dead look.
swap some hand or arms with dead ones from the same mantic and you get cheap military zombies for your era of play. lol
Then paint them with zombies flesh.

The Westwind Victorian zombie set would work: http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1620
