Yes. The Germans had a special unit that tested and examined captured allied aircraft. They captured most of the planeset (as did the allies to the axis) but they painted theirs in bright yellow colors and flew them around to units to explain the weaknesses and strengths of the plane in question. Once or twice they'd take a B17 and NOT repaint it, move into formation with other bombers and try to shoot them down, but that was less common.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Actually, they would take the aircraft in question and shadow a buff group and report the headings and altitude to a ground ack station so they were sure to set their fuses right.

They did this more than once or twice, enough so that USAAF gunners were warned to look at squadron amrkings when unknowns approached the groups.

There was a 38 near Italy that was captured, and piloted by an axis pilot that would pretend to escort a buff home.  They were always wounded, he would stick with them, and then after they got comfy, he'd light them up.  It worked a couple of times, he was lit up himself.

They actually had to set a trap for him with (I believe) an YB-17?

I also believe the 'P-38-pilot' was Italian, but spoke English perfectly
