It is a well documented fact that the German military reissued captured small arms, artillery, tanks and vehicles to its troops. They had nomenclature for each item that usually had the first letter of the country of origin in the name. A 'T' for Czech, an R for Russian, and likely an E or I for English.

Generally, second line and minor fronts had the oddball weapons. The one that comes to mind were the troops in the Balkans had Austrian Steyr rifles and Czech light machine guns.
