German soldiers with the Russian SVT-40 (Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva, Obrazets 1940 goda), basically Tokareva self loading rifle model of 1940. In the 1930's the Russians wanted to replace the Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle with a semi-automatic rifle, much like the US had with the M1 Garand, the SVT 38 was the first model made with about 150,000 produced. However this model did not hold up well in the winter war with Finland and some issues needed to be fixed, resulting in the SVT 40. There were quite a few of the SVT 40's on hand when the Germans invaded, but many were captured. The Russian army had to replace many soldiers and equipment and simpler weapons such as the PPSH 41 were easier for soldiers to learn to use and simpler to make. in 1942 priority was given to produce the Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifles and the SVT 40 got put on the back burner. The Germans made good use of the captured SVT's as they did not have many self loading rifles at the time and it helped with their logistics as well. Since Russian weapons typically had lower tolerances than their German counterparts, and performed better in the harsh environment, they were in high demand. Below are some images of German troops with the SVT 40.

German Soldiers with the Russian PPSh-41 or Shpagin's machine-pistol-41. This was a sub machine gun that fired the 7.62×25mm Tokarev pistol round, and was made from stamped steel parts. It could accept a drum or box magazine, although German captured ones were modified to accept 9mm  MP-40 magazines as well. It saw widespread use in WW2 (with over 6 million made) and is still in use , with it being reported used in the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

The British Expeditionary Force that deployed to France between September 1939 and April 1940 was the first fully mechanised army to go to war and not rely on horse drawn transport. They took a staggering 68,618 vehicles of all types to France and what's even more staggering is 63,879 of them were either destroyed, disabled or captured by the time the British Army had left France in June 1940.
