@drivewaynats3696 No, it didn't. If you look at what Overy says in his book "How the Allies Won", this kleptomanic way of getting weapons and equipment compounded the German logistics problem. Instead of having to supply a few different calibers of ammunition and spare parts for a few types of vehicles, the Germans ended up with trying to service almost 100 types of motor transport, each using different spare parts. Similarly, they had a variety of different ammunition types to ship to the front line for AT guns, tanks, artillery, etc., not all of them cross-compatible with different weapons. The British Army had less problem with this, but they still had to deal with supplying ammo for US and British tanks that used different caliber guns.
