Nor I.... 
What do you mean wrongway? Not up until vary late war were we "confiscating" mass amounts of German equipment.
What you were implying, I thought, was commando raids were carried out, behind enemy lines, during active war time, to capture and fly/drive out enemy equipment.
it was not uncommon say for a Brit Commando, US Ranger or other outfit specially trained in raiding fortified positions to walk unto a location
It just didn't happen.
"Captured" equipment was generally aircraft that crashed and were reassembled. Hundreds of Allied aircraft were shot down and ditched or crashed over German occupied territory, sometimes nearly intact.
The first Japanese Zero to be studied by the U.S. crashed virtually intact on Akutan Island in the Aleutians of Alaska in July, 1942.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akutan_ZeroWhile searching for the above, I came across an incident of a Zero capture due to crash landing in China in 1941 as well.
http://www.j-aircraft.com/research/WarPrizes.htmThe first Fw190 to fall into Allied hands was a case of pilot error in June 1942 when a lost pilot landed at a British field.
In June 1942, following a dogfight over the Bristol Channel, a lost Luftwaffe pilot landed his Focke-Wulf Fw-190 at RAF Pembrey, he was promptly "captured" by the air traffic controller with the only weapon at hand - a very pistol.
As the war wound down, yes, special units wandered Germany collecting equipment and weapons. They weren't commandos nor did they operate behind enemy lines. They were technicians.
In any case, captured equipment was rarely, if ever used in combat. It was used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy. Only desperation would call for using enemy equipment as the risk of getting killed by being mistaken for the enemy was too much of a risk. No red icons.
The F6F Hellcat's design was influenced by flying the captured Zero and the F8F Bearcat was influenced by the captured Fw190.
In game we have a skin for a French Ju88. They were not captured to the unit but issued to them when Vichy France was allied with Germany. When France was liberated, the former Vichy units began flying for the Allies with the same equipment.
Italians flew P-39Qs after they surrendered and began flying against Nazi Germany.
There are the rare, anecdotal stories of captured aircraft being used, the Italian
"Phantom" P-38 story, strange B-17s shadowing bomber streams over Germany, ect.
Germany's KG200 flew captured Allied aircraft to evaluate them and familiarize pilots with their adversaries up close.
Otherwise, B-17s and B-24s were not used by Germany to bomb anything. P-51s, Spitfires, or 109s were not used against their former owners in combat. There were no squadrons of captured aircraft in combat.
