Always interesting to me too.
Germany definitely swept up a lot of machinery and factories during the rampage across Europe, and I think they were very quick at assessing what they found and using it correctly.
I'm pretty sure they never found any fighters or bombers that were superior to the home grown ones, but extra 'stock' was welcome for training pilots or liaison between units etc.
