Sikh members of the 4th Indian Division of the British 8th Army manning a captured Italian 20mm antiaircraft gun. 1943.
P38 fighter getting ready to fly a mission as the pilot arrives in a captured German vehicle shortly after the liberation of Paris by Allied troops. 26 Aug, 1944.
Not quite captured but is it trying to be an American with the white star? no dont thinks so. Thats the normal place for the divisional symbol. What happened to the spares, that short of tyres... (hang on didnt the spare go on the back?) Kev
GIs using captured German 88mm field gun. Looks bigger than a 88 to me? Andy, That looks like a 8,8 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 43. File:PaK43-41 base borden military museum 4.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You picture shows a different model that used a split chassis to fire from and the two wheeled bogie were detached from each end for firing.

Browning HP's perhaps mildly borderline as 'captured', as they continued manufacture after seizing the FN plant when Belgium fell.
Given that those Stugs look fully serviceable and ready to go, I wonder if we're looking at one of the oh so lucky German maintenance crews that the Soviets sometimes retained for their captured vehicles. Interesting shot if that was the case. I've only read specific reference to them regarding Panthers but there's no reason for them not to be present for other types. Either that, or a particularly scruffy Sturmartillerie unit has a man mucking about in a captured soviet uniform...

Looking really closely, none retain any form of badge or patch on thier uniforms apart from the basic rank-badges. I daresay there isn't a watch between them, either... H
Either that, or a particularly scruffy Sturmartillerie unit has a man mucking about in a captured soviet uniform... Wot, a Reenactor? Now seriously, the photo unfortunatley did not carry a caption.
