Very interesting. Thanks, Martin.
The Germans did this sort of thing quite a lot, especially on the Eastern

into German service after their capture, although usually in a support role.

Part of the website is devoted to it.

Elsewhere I found a photo similar to Krusty's that said it was taken in Saar
another similar one was taken in St Vith.
