The only two i know of is the "cuckoo" which was a panther and a kingtiger which wasnt used as it broke down (a lot  :o) and was shipped out

wouldnt fancy running around though in a captured tank wouldnt matter how good it was  ;)

The Russians used Panzer III's and IV's and drove them until they broke down. The Tigers were considered too fragile for the average Russian peasant tanker to be able to use. I think they did use quite a few Panthers tho, all be it as occupation troops after the war.

Oh well then, there's the large numbers of Italian tanks used in the desert by the British - Altho we did tend to throw them away as soon as something better turned up... ;) ;D
